handle is hein.journals/iiumlj17 and id is 1 raw text is: (2009) 17 IIUMLJ 1 AHMAD IBRAHIM MEMORIAL LECTURE 2008 FIFTY YEARS OF CONSTITUTIONAL GOVERNMENT IN MALAYSIA* Tun Salleh Abas** It is has been a long time since I stood in front of academics and an illustrious audience. Today I consider it a great honour for me to deliver the 9th Memorial Lecture in honour of a great man, the late Professor Emeritus Tan Sri Ahmad Ibrahim who spent all his energy and learning towards spreading Islamic law. However I feel somewhat diffident and inadequate to the task having regards to the fact that the last twenty years of my life were spent away from active public service. At the beginning, when the faculty of law was established at this university, I used to come on invitations by the late Professor Ahmad and sometimes by students to deliver lectures on various legal topics. I also participated in their seminars. Some students were so enthusiastic that they even had their photographs taken with me. When I was removed from judicial office in 1988, my association with the university ceased. I was no longer invited to give lectures and even the occasional invitations extended to me, I found very hard to accept. I became basically an outcast and as a result, I gave up my duty as an external examiner for the faculties of law of the University of Malaya and the National University of Singapore. However I gained acceptance by Monash and Melbourne universities immediately after my dismissal as I was appointed as a fellow Delivered on 3rd December 2008 at Crown Princess Hotel, Kuala Lumpur. Former Lord President of the Federal Court of Malaysia and later Supreme Court of Malaysia, (1984-1988).
