KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court here has dismissed a leave application by youth movement Muda in its bid to challenge the Registrar of Societies (RoS) rejection of its application to be registered as a political party.
The application for leave to initiate judicial review was rejected after Justice Mariana Yahya allowed an objection by the Attorney General s Chambers (AGC) during online court proceedings on Thursday (Feb 4).
When contacted, AGC Senior Federal Counsel Ahmad Hanir Hambali said the court had found that the applicants - Muda leader Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman and 12 others - did not appeal their case to the Home Minister first, and therefore had not exhausted the avenues for appeal provided under the Societies Act 1966.
KUALA LUMPUR (Feb 4): The High Court has dismissed an application by Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman’s newly formed Malaysian United Democratic Alliance s (MUDA) bid for a judicial review against the goverment’s decision not to register the party.
Judge Datuk Seri Mariana Yahya ruled that the former youth and sports minister’s party did not utilise all avenues before commencing court action after the Registrar of Societies (RoS) rejected the bid to be registered as a political party.
Justice Mariana said that the party should have sought an appeal with Home Affairs Minister Datuk Hamzah Zainudin within 30 days of the rejection instead of filing an appeal with the courts.

PUTRAJAYA: For Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin, his experience with Covid-19 was definitely a painful one.
The Home Minister said he not only suffered from high fever and body aches, but also experienced painful headaches.
“My head hurt so much that it felt like it was exploding. The body aches made me feel weak.
“I don’t know how to describe the pain, but I felt it on every part of my body, ” he told the media yesterday.
Hamzah, who was admitted to hospital on Jan 12, said he took a longer time to recover as doctors found his liver enzyme level to be high.
