This is in order to limit the arbitrary excesses of executive power to protect democratic systems.<br /><br />Hence, it must be considered an excursion on the Independence of Parliament by an UNELECTED people to force Parliament to succumb its INDEPENDENCE to a form of Dependence!<br /><br />It is trite law that the Federal Court decision in Teh Cheng Poh v. Public Prosecutor [1979] had stated that Article 150(2) of the constitution does not provide the ability nor grant the powers to act on an own initiative as there is a requirement under Article 40(1) to act in accordance with the advice of the Cabinet which consists of a number of Elected Representatives in the Lower House – Dewan Rakyat, and the Leader of the House in the Dewan Rakyat, sets the dates for Parliament to reconvene and must be consulted as the Premier.Hakimi Abdul Jabarhttp://www.internationallegaljusticeobserver.weebly.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7419305253999727578.post-25003202687718096732021-06-17T02:05:24.043+08:002021-06-17T02:05:24.043+08:00I'm contemplative of a legal reasoning made by...I'm contemplative of a legal reasoning made by a renowned constitutional law professor on the issue of the much criticized and abused, obsolete Sedition Act.<br /><br />Some years ago, the learned law professor brought up the issue of a certain individual posting publicly on social media on the SEPARATION of a particular state from the Federation of Malaysia. The law professor chastised the authorities for not taking action pursuant to the Sedition Act on the person and the issue of the applicability of Art. 8(1) of the Federal Constitution.<br /><br />So now at present, when anyone gets charged or even investigated for SEDITION in Malaysia, one can readily refer to the learned law professor's lucid exposition and the criminal offence he had referred to and thus publicly proclaim SELECTIVE PROSECUTION!<br /><br />Now that the learned law professor is a fulltime politician, it will be good for Prof. Shad Faruqi and others to expound further.<br /><br />https://www.astroawani.com/berita-malaysia/no-princes-should-be-exempted-sedition-act-says-aziz-bari-63002Hakimi Abdul Jabarhttp://www.internationallegaljusticeobserver.weebly.comnoreply@blogger.com
