A GROUP of five led by Global Human Rights Federation (GHRF) has pursued legal action against Attorney-General (AG) Tan Sri Idrus Harun and Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Tan Sri Razarudin Husain over the authorities’ failure to prosecute controversial preacher Syakir Nasoha.
The other four members of the group are Parti Bansa Dayak Sarawak, the Sarawak Association for People’s Aspiration, Ex-Students of Chinese Schools and Pertubuhan Malaysia Tamilar Munnetra Kalagam.
The five who filed the application through Messrs Gunaseelan & Associates also want a declaration that the refusal to act against Syakir was unlawful and an abuse of power on the part of IGP and the AG.
The judicial review proceedings against the AG and IGP was heard in front of Judge Datuk Ahmad Kamal Md Shahid at the Kuala Lumpur High Court today. A judgment will be delivered on Sept 26 at 2.30pm.
Commenting on the court hearing, GHRF’s deputy president Peter John Jaban expressed his disappointment by claiming that Malaysians have lost trust on the authorities who were supposed to protect and act in accordance with Article 8 of the Federal Constitution and the Rukun Negara.
