In 2017, his tenure as the Chief Justice of Malaysia was extended further.^[4] The re-appointments of Md Raus and Zulkefli to their respective posts were controversial, as their terms were extended after they reached the mandatory retirement age of 66 years and six months.^[5] Bar Council called the move "unconstitutional" and will cause "widespread and severe erosion of public confidence in the judiciary and its independence".^[6]
