Court invested with powers to decide Waytha’s legal action against PM


LAWYER P. Waytha Moorthy last week filed a legal action or suit seeking a declaration that Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim should not have been elected as Member of Parliament for Tambun in November 2022 and appointed prime minister.

He contends that Anwar’s 2018 royal pardon did not state that he was exempt from the five-year disqualification period for contesting an election after being released from prison.
