KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 6 (Bernama) — I would like to extend my heartiest congratulations to YAA Dato’ Rohana Yusuf on Her Ladyship’s appointment as the President of the Court of Appeal. Also, heartiest congratulations to YA Dato’ Zaleha Yusof, YA Dato’ Zabariah Mohd Yusof, and YA Datuk Hasnah Dato’ Mohammed Hashim, who were elevated to the Federal Court.
The appointment of YAA Dato’ Rohana Yusuf is a proud first in Malaysian history for a female judge to be appointed as the president of the Court of Appeal. She is the first woman to reach the second-highest position in the judiciary after Tan Sri Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat broke new ground by becoming Malaysia’s first woman chief justice. Her elevation means that the two leaders of the judiciary are now women.
