GE15: AG's Chambers objects to Pandan voter's bid to stop polls


KUALA LUMPUR: The Attorney General’s Chambers (AGC) objected on Thursday (Oct 20) to the leave for judicial review application by a Pandan voter to challenge the dissolution of the 14th Parliament and holding the 15th General Election (GE15) during the flood-prone monsoon season later this year.

Dr Syed Iskandar Syed Jaafar Al Mahdzar, who is also a lawyer, filed the application to initiate a judicial review by naming the Election Commission (EC) chairman, caretaker Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob and the government of Malaysia as respondents.
