Bid to stop GE15 fails


KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob did not need to consult his Cabinet in requesting the dissolution of the 14th Parliament from the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, the High Court has ruled.

Justice Ahmad Kamal Md Shahid said this in his decisions in two legal challenges by incumbent Klang MP Charles Santiago and Pandan voter Dr Syed Iskandar Syed Jaafar Al Mahdzar, who both sought to halt the 15th General Election (GE15).
