PUTRAJAYA: The Court of Appeal ruled Friday that Bintulu Member of Parliament Datuk Seri Tiong King Sing could not appeal against a High Court ruling which dismissed his application to compel a reporter to disclose sources in an article he had written.
Justice Datuk Azahar Mohamed, chairing a Court of Appeal three-member panel, said Tiong’s appeal against the July 31, 2013 High Court decision was incompetent because the subject matter was a procedural ruling and not a judgment of the court under Section 67 of the Courts of Judicature Act 1964.
