Zaki Azmi said he resisted the temptation to accept bribes even though he had held a
00:08
powerful position as a senior federal counsel in the Home Ministry in the 1970s.
00:15
The former Chief Justice of Malaysia said he had learned from his father, Azmi Muhammad,
00:20
to become a leader with integrity.
00:23
Azmi was Lord President of the Federal Court from 1968 to 1974.
00:29
He recalled one instance when his father sent away a man who brought the family food, at
00:33
a time when such provisions were scarce.
00:36
He later found out that the man was supposed to appear in court before his father the next
00:40
day.
00:42
Zaki said this lesson of integrity and honesty stayed with him throughout his legal career,
00:47
leading him to refuse several favors he was asked to perform as a lawyer and federal court
00:52
judge.
00:54
In his speech on ethics, governance and leadership, Zaki also praised former Prime Ministers
00:59
Hussein Onn and Abdul Razak Hussein, calling them politicians with great integrity.
01:05
He pointed out that Hussein used his own funds to attend his child's graduation in England,
01:10
while Razak paid for his children's tuition fees out of his own pocket.
