It take years to get your case heard, and justice delayed is of course justice denied..this is something the government as a whole need to address..a holistic improvement to provide justice. Whether a case merits a hearing is a question of fact, and denial of this right is definitely against the principle of natural justice. I am not saying that RPK deserve this case, as a matter of fact, I am truly amazed that the amount could be so huge. I think RPK has (and will pursue) further legal recourse in this matter, but the fact that he did not respond earlier will possibly affect his case...anyway it's just my two cents<BR/><BR/>And lastly, as much as we are apalled by by some of the things we see about our judiciary, we must not give up on it...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19585503.post-68118862580288920612008-03-28T14:12:00.000+08:002008-03-28T14:12:00.000+08:00Dear anonymous,Then that is really weird that a 20...Dear anonymous,<BR/><BR/>Then that is really weird that a 2006 event is only pursued in 2008?

The victim has the right to commence any action which is actionble per se. RPK's action of not responding to the libel suit is to my humble opinion arrogant and disrespectful of our judicial process (or whathever it's left)..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
