KUALA LUMPUR: The unemployment rate in December 2024 edged down by 0.1 percentage points to 3.1%, the lowest in nearly a decade (May 2015: 3.1%; November 2024: 3.2%).
PUTRAJAYA: The Federal Court on Monday dismissed an application from two former Penang assemblymen who were seeking leave to appeal a decision regarding the validity of a motion passed by the state legislative assembly which declared their seats vacant.
The two former assemblymen, through their lawyer Tan Sri Azhar Azizan Harun, requested the court to grant them leave to appeal, arguing that there are four novel questions of law for the Federal Court to determine. After their expulsion from PKR, Zulkifli and Dr Afif joined Bersatu, prompting the motion for them to vacate their seats.
Meanwhile, Zulkifli and Dr Afif's appeals in the Court of Appeal were dismissed on Nov 26 last year. They then filed an application seeking leave to appeal to the Federal Court.
