GEORGE TOWN: A High Court here has allowed for a judicial review of a minister’s order allowing companies to repay their debts in six months as a result of the movement control order (MCO) compared to 21 days, saying there is a prima facie case against the Malaysian government.

Justice Datuk Rosilah Yop granted the application to Wabina Constructions and Engineering Sdn Bhd, which is seeking to challenge the order granting a six-month extension for companies to settle their debts.
