Appeals Court overturns High Court ruling not to interrogate after office hours

Ha..ha.. dah agak dah...!

When was the last time the Appeals Court ruled something in favour of the powerless marhain? I would like to know...

Next time, if you want to challenge these people, use another court - badminton court. Then there's a chance you can win.

PUTRAJAYA: The Court of Appeal this morning ruled that the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) can interrogate witnesses beyond office hours.

In allowing the MACC's appeal, the court quashed a High Court order requiring the MACC to conduct its interrogation during office hours, from 8.30am to 5.30pm.

Last month, High Court judge Justice Mohamad Ariff Md Yusof had declared in a landmark ruling that witnesses could only be questioned by MACC from 8.30am to 5.30pm each day.

The ruling followed a lawsuit by Kajang municipal councillor Tan Boon Wah challenging MACC's interrogation procedures.

In a unanimous decision today, the Court of Appeal Judge Justice Hasan Lah, who sat together with judges Justice Ahmad Maarop and Justice Syed Ahmad Helmy Syed Ahmad, ruled that Section 30(3)(a) of the MACC Act 2009 did not set any time limit for the MACC to interrogate witnesses.


The Malaysian Insider has the details.
