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.

Justice Datuk Rosilah Yop said there was a prima facie case against the government and 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.
