Santiago and Pandan voter’s bid dismissed


PUTRAJAYA: The Federal Court has dismissed the applications by a former MP and a Pandan voter to challenge the Prime Minister’s request to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong (YDPA) to dissolve Parliament in October last year.

A three-judge panel chaired by Justice P. Nallini threw out the case by both former Klang MP Charles Santiago and Pandan voter Dr Syed Iskandar Syed Jaafar Al Mahdzar after allowing the preliminary objection by the government, former prime minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob and the Election Commission (EC).
