Malaysiakini : The Court of Appeal has dismissed Kedah state government’s appeal seeking to reinstate its decision to withhold licence renewals for pool betting and lottery operators.
Free Malaysia Today reported that in a majority ruling, judges Faizah Jamaludin and Lim Hock Leng found the appeal to be without merit, while Chief Judge of Sabah and Sarawak Azizah Nawawi dissented. No costs were awarded.
Mud on this ugly face Faizah and Lim determined that the state government’s refusal to renew licences for several pool betting agents, their companies, and officers was unconstitutional.
Lim highlighted Kedah Menteri Besar Sanusi Nor’s affidavit, which stated that the move aimed to “ban” gambling in the state.
MarioT : Victory to the Federal Constitution. The rights and privileges of others must be protected in this country. Thanks to the judges for this decision.
Asam Pedas : Any judge of any quality, for that matter anyone with half a brain, can understand the separation of state and federal laws or powers. So, why was there a dissenting judge?
Read it all here......We need to understand his reasoning. Was he basing his decision on law or his religion? If it was the latter he should step down and move to the shariah court.
