Court denies bid by Azmin to nullify Gombak voters’ lawsuit

[superadmin]

KUALA LUMPUR: Senior minister Azmin Ali has failed to strike out a lawsuit filed by 10 Gombak voters against him for the alleged breach of his fiduciary duties.

High Court judge Akhtar Tahir dismissed Azmin’s bid to strike out the voters’ suit on the grounds that there were issues that needed to be tried before a full hearing. The court will proceed to hear the case from June 7 to 10, 2022.

Azmin was represented by Nizamuddin Abdul Hamid while Yohendra Nadarajan and Surendra Ananth appeared for the voters.

In their suit, the voters said Azmin owed a fiduciary duty and was a trustee for his constituents.

They contended that Azmin left PKR and orchestrated the Sheraton Move for his own gain and political advancement, not for the benefit of his constituents.
