Appeals Court holds election manifesto not legally enforceable

PUTRAJAYA: The Court of Appeal held that an election manifesto is not legally enforceable.

Following this landmark ruling, the three-member panel led by Datuk Mohd Hishamudin Mohd Yunus struck out a civil suit brought by a group of single mothers who were seeking RM10.9 million in allowances over the Selangor Government's alleged failure to fulfill its 2008 general election manifesto.
