GEORGE TOWN: The High Court here held that an online business trader has no locus standi to apply for a review of former Penang chief minister Lim Guan Eng’s and businesswoman Phang Li Koon’s acquittal on corruption charges.

Justice Datuk Hadhariah Syed Ismail said that Muhsin Abdul Latheef, also known as “Mamu Parpu”, had no right to ask for the acquittal to be reviewed, set aside or to be given a discharge not amounting to an acquittal as he was not part of the proceedings.
