The Federal Court, in allowing his application, says questions of law posed are of grave consequence. FMTNews Sabah MusaAman

PUTRAJAYA: The Federal Court in a majority 2-1 ruling today allowed a leave application by Musa Aman for a declaration that he was the rightful Sabah chief minister after the conclusion of the 15th legislative election in 2018.

He said the 15th state assembly had been dissolved on July 30 and an election must be held within 60 days. A three-member bench, comprising Mohamad Zabidin Mohd Diah, Kamardin Hashim and Rhodzariah Bujang, had allowed a preliminary objection by Douglas Lind, the lawyer for incumbent Sabah chief minister Shafie Apdal.

He said although the issues raised in the appeal on the rightful chief minister of Sabah were significant, they were not of outstanding public importance.
