Court has no jurisdiction to hear suit related to HSR project

: The court has no jurisdiction to hear a lawsuit regarding the Cabinet’s decision to cancel the Kuala Lumpur-Singapore High-Speed Rail project, as the decision involved a matter of public policy.

Ahmad Terrirudin, through an affidavit filed in the High Court here on April 7, claimed that the issue was not within the court’s jurisdiction, because the Cabinet’s decision was based on negotiations with Singapore as well as a study of the country’s economic interests and costs. Ahmad Terriudin claimed that the five defendants had used their authority correctly regarding the Cabinet’s decision to initially delay the project and then cancel it.

“With that, I truly believe and state that this action is frivolous, inconvenient and abusing the process of this honourable court. Besides, the plaintiff also has no interest either directly or indirectly in the matter, in fact, he has no legal right to file a civil action on behalf of all other Malaysians,” Ahmad Terrirudin claimed.
