THE High Court decision that Sabah and Sarawak have the right under the Federal Constitution to impose sales tax on petroleum products sourced from the state is a major victory which suggests that the judiciary is free from political interference and more fair.

 I dare say that such a decision would have been unheard of before where the federal government could be easily formed by one dominant party which even boasted about it.

 Perhaps it is not too late to file for a judicial review of the 1992 federal court decision during the Mahathir administration that that the Anti-Hop Law to prevent unprincipled politicians from frogging is undemocratic.

 That controversial decision allowed Mahathir to form a backdoor government in Sabah despite PBS having won a slim majority in the assembly.
