Court upholds RCI’s decision to dismiss Dr M’s bid

KUALA LUMPUR: Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad failed to get leave from the High Court to quash the Royal Commission of Inquiry’s (RCI) refusal to disqualify two of its panel members.

High Court (Appellate and Special Powers) judge Justice Datin Azizah Nawawi ruled that the RCI looking into the billion-ringgit foreign exchange losses in the 1980s and 1990s has no jurisdiction to remove its own members.
