Anwar asks Federal Court to decide whether courts can review PM’s advice to Agong to - superadmin - 02-08-2021 Anwar asks Federal Court to decide whether courts can review PM’s advice to Agong to make Emergency laws to suspend Parliament KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 8 — PKR president Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim is now seeking to ask the Federal Court to decide whether the courts have the power to review the prime minister’s advice to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong to suspend Parliament under an Emergency law. Anwar’s lawyer Ramkarpal Singh said that his client had this morning filed an application in the High Court, to refer four questions of law to the Federal Court. Anwar’s application today is part of his lawsuit filed on January 25 in the High Court against the prime minister and the government to challenge Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin’s advice to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong to make the Emergency law to suspend Parliament. His application today seeks for the High Court to first refer the four questions to the Federal Court before the High Court hears his lawsuit, and to suspend proceedings at the High Court until the Federal Court decides on the four questions. - More -
