Tun Dr. M Must Not Apologise .

Former Lord President, Tun Salleh Abbas was found guilty by a tribunal consisting of four Malaysian judges and a judge each from Sri Lanka and Singapore. Tun Salleh was charged for displaying "bias and prejudice" against the government, and seeking "to undermine public confidence in the government's administration".- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salleh_Abas

He had never at any material time showed up to defend himslef despite being given every opportunity to do so.

Due process was accorded to him with two highly respected foreign judges sitting.

He was removed by a tribunal of his peers accordingly.

In fact, Tun Dr. M must be accorded the due respect and gratitude for saving UMNO and the nation in times of crisis.

If one argues in favor of judicial integrity then the sanctus lex or sacred law is that judges should not only be impartial but must also be seen to be impartial.

Tun Dr. M must not apologise.
