Judicial Review,Court Of Appeal,Sabah Law Society

The driver of a lorry involved in a crash which claimed the life of Emeritus Professor Tan Yock Lin said he lost control of his vehicle when he took his eyes off the road to look at his GPS.

KOTA KINABALU: In two weeks, the Sabah Law Society will face the Federal Government in a crucial court hearing.

“This upcoming court battle marks a pivotal moment in the fight for Sabah's rightful constitutional entitlement. “This entitlement represents two-fifths of the net revenue derived by Malaysia from Sabah, exceeding the amount collected in 1963, the year Malaysia was formed,” he said.He said this hearing stemmed from the Federal Attorney General's challenge to a November 2022 High Court decision granting SLS the right to pursue judicial review against both the federal and Sabah governments.

The AGC had also obtained a stay order to stop the Kota Kinabalu High Court from hearing the merits of the case pending the appeal.
