Does Malaysia practices Separation of Powers

From Malaysiakini 4th March

Restraining order served on speaker

Perak legislative assembly speaker V Sivakumar was today served with a court order restraining him from holding any unlawful assembly meetings.


_____________

Separation of Powers is a model of democratic country.


Comprise of three branches of powers.

-Executives (Prime Minister and Cabinets- The Government)

-Judiciary (Judges)

-Legislative (Members of Parliament or State Assembly)

_____________

The Executives preserves, protects and defends the Constitution

The Judiciary determines which jurisdiction any given case falls under.

The Legislative makes the law.

____________

None of them can override to each other. That's the number 1 rule of Separation of Powers. They can't abuse the system by placing one higher than another.
____________

It's very clear that some people in the GOVERNMENT (for goodness sake) do not understand this concept.

How could a COURT (Judiciary) restrain a State Assembly (Legislative) Speaker from holding any assembly? That just doesn't make any sense.


There are stupid people around. And occasionally they end up in the government.
