The government makes no objection to Sime Darby Plantation's judicial review, but a lawyer's submission that the court cannot hear the matter is dismissed.
Sime Darby Plantation says its land was compulsorily acquired to benefit a foreign-owned company.
In a positive turn of events, he said, the Attorney-General’s Chambers also made no objection to the leave. The company’s lawyer, David Mathews, also said the subject matter involved the Yang di-Pertuan Agong and Istana Negara, and that the court has no jurisdiction to hear the matter.“SDP was well within time as the award was made on March 27, 2019. The Borang H was also just served on May 2, 2019. So clearly, SDP was well within the 90-day period to file the judicial review.
In support of its action, SDP challenged the validity of a letter from Istana Negara, which purportedly directed the state government to acquire the land.
