KOTA KINABALU: The Court of Appeal will sit again on Jan 22, this time with at least one non-Muslim Judge from Borneo, to hear the case of a Sabahan who had his Judicial Review bid on the Herald, the Catholic weekly, dismissed in July by the High Court in Kota Kinabalu. The new date had to be set after Judge Mohd Zawawi Salleh had to recuse himself on Fri from the case following an objection by lawyer Tengku Fuad Ahmad. The lawyer pointed out that Judge Mohd Zawawi appeared in the case of Titular Roman Archbishop of Kuala Lumpur vs Home Ministry in Oct last year and there was a possibility of bias on his part. Fuad also complained the quorum was entirely Muslim with none from Sabah or Sarawak. He wanted at least one non-Muslim Judge on the panel from either Sabah or Sarawak. freemalaysiatoday/category/nation/2014/11/14/appeal-court-to-hear-herald-seizure-in-sabah/
