Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad has shot down a former judge's proposal for the government to hold an internal inquiry to probe allegations of judicial misconduct.<br /><br />Asked about the suggestion today, Mahathir stuck with the government’s original decision to hold a Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) into the matter.<br /><br />Yesterday, former Federal Court judge Gopal Sri Ram opined that an RCI would be “inappropriate”, as it would violate the constitutional doctrine of separation of powers.
