Owners of comedy club withdraw challenge against purported DBKL blacklist as it does not exist

PETALING JAYA: The two owners of Crackhouse Comedy Club have withdrawn their legal challenge over an alleged blacklist against the duo by Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL).

Lawyer Pravin Mahentharan, who represented Mohamad Rizal Johan Van Geyzel and Shankar R Santhiram, informed the Kuala Lumpur High Court on Wednesday morning that they found out that DBKL hasn't imposed a blacklist on the duo but only withdrawn the club's permit.

The routine involved comedian Siti Nuramira Abdullah, 26, who was charged with insulting Islam by admitting she is Muslim and memorised 15 juz of the Quran before discarding her tudung and baju kurung on June 4 last year.During open court proceedings before judge Amarjeet Singh, Pravin explained that they had spoken to DBKL in July and found out that there was never such a blacklist, and that the authorities had merely taken back Crackhouse Comedy Club’s permit.

Following Jalaluddin's statement, Mohamad Rizal and Shankar filed a judicial review application to challenge the ban on the grounds that it was unconstitutional.
