00:00 The Attorney General's Chambers said they will object to Syed Sadiq Syed Abdul Rahman's
00:07 application for leave on judicial review relating to government allocation.
00:12 Senior Federal Counsel Ahmad Hanir Hambali confirmed this after the case was brought
00:17 up for review in the Kuala Lumpur High Court on Monday.
00:22 Last month, three voters and Syed Sadiq, who is the MUA MP, filed the application for leave
00:28 to commence judicial review over his claims that the government had pulled its allocation
00:33 meant for his constituency.
00:36 They named the Prime Minister and the government as the first and second respondents.
00:40 "The objective is to nullify the policy of revenge and to ensure that those who are affected
00:47 will get their rights back.
00:49 The Civil Code does not only apply to me, Syed Sadiq, but also to three other local leaders
00:58 in the MUA, namely Brother Najib, who is the YDP PIBG of a school in the MUA, Brother Bakiruddin,
01:06 who is the Imam of a surau in the MUA, and also Brother Fazli, who is one of the leaders
01:13 of a surau under the MUA Parliament.
01:16 These names are directly affected by the withdrawal of the Parliament's resolution, which was
01:23 passed in the first round, but because of the political support, it was withdrawn again
01:31 and again, until the system for us to access the request for help was closed again and
01:38 again.
01:39 We are in the case management level, the date has been discussed to be established."
01:45 The applicants sought a certiorari order to quash a decision by the respondents that halted
01:50 the balance of R500,000 from R1.7 million in total that was supposed to be channelled
01:56 directly to the MUA Public Service Centre.
02:00 The funds were meant to cover the expenses of welfare programmes for the MUA constituents.
