THE Shah Alam High Court today dismissed a preventive detention order signed by Muhyiddin Yassin when he was home minister, Malaysiakini reports.
Lawyer Danial Amir Hamzah said the court had ruled in favour of the defence because the prime minister signed the order using his “glamour name” Muhyiddin Mohd Yassin rather than his government gazetted MyKad name Mahiaddin Md Yasin.
“Under the Ministerial Functions Act 1969, the name stated in the gazette is Mahiaddin Md Yasin, the name in his MyKad.
“Today, the high court ruled that any executive decision or action taken by the prime minister or minister must use the name in the gazette, namely the name in the MyKad and not the glamour name,” he was quoted as saying.
Danial said judicial commissioner Norsharidah Awang allowed the habeas corpus application by Sabahan Awang Sari Lasikan, who is now free from detention.
Danial is representing Awang, who was detained under the order signed by Muhyiddin on March 10, last year.
He said the high court agreed with their submission that Muhyiddin should not have signed the detention order with his “Muhyiddin” name rather than his MyKad name of Mahiaddin.
Danial also added that today’s ruling has potentially opened the floodgates for other similar habeas corpus applications.
He said there are several other detainees under detention orders signed by Muhyiddin at the time. – April 2, 2021.
