AG’s Chambers objects to Bersatu’s leave application for judicial review against MACC over frozen account

KUALA LUMPUR: The Attorney General's Chambers (AGC) has objected to Bersatu's application for leave to initiate a judicial review against the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission's (MACC) action that froze its bank account, citing the danger of interference of jurisdiction between the civil courts and the criminal courts.

Senior Federal Counsel Shamsul Bolhassan, in his submission, told the High Court that the move to freeze the political party's bank account could not be challenged through a judicial review as the power to issue the order (to freeze) was part of the mechanism in an investigation.
