: The 33 assemblymen’s bid for a stay of the High Court’s ruling over the Sabah Yang Dipertua Negeri’s decision in dissolving the state legislative assembly will be heard on Sept 7, five days before the nomination day set for the state election.
Tengku Fuad said the stay application was filed on Aug 24 and the state AGC as well as the AGC had an agreement for the application to be heard on Sept 7. “So, given the short time frame as well as the urgency of the matter, we will seek the 4th of September also for the appeal to be heard,” he said. Shim ruled that the second respondent in the case - Sabah Chief Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Apdal - had acted within the Sabah Constitution in requesting the first respondent, Sabah Yang Dipertua Negeri Tun Juhar Mahiruddin, to dissolve the state assembly.
