THE SPEAKER OF DEWAN UNDANGAN NEGERI OF SARAWAK

TING TIONG CHOON & ORS AND OTHER APPEALS [2020] 3 CLJ 757

[CIVIL APPEALS NO: 01(f)-20-08-2019(Q), 01(f)-21-08-2019(Q) & 02(f)-65-08-2019(Q)]

The decision of the Sarawak State Legislative Assembly ('the House') in disqualifying vide a Ministerial Motion a member of the House after the latter has committed an act of disqualification of acquiring a citizenship of a country other than Malaysia, but has since renounced it prior to his election to the House, upon the proper construction of arts. 17(1) and 19(1) of the Sarawak Constitution, arts. 72 and 118 of the Federal Constitution and s. 32(e) of the Election Offences Act 1954, is legal, lawful and constitutional.
Art. 17(1) is plain in that a person who is otherwise eligible for election to the House but who has since become disqualified for having committed an act of disqualification under art. 17(1)(g), as was the case here, loses his eligibility to stand for election to the House, and by extension must also lose his eligibility to be appointed to the House as an elected member. Also, the disqualifying act as was incurred by the member, having been caught by art. 17(1)(g), is not removable, redeemable or forgivable; it cannot be removed or ceased in the absence of any provision to that effect in art. 17(3) of the State Constitution. Further, under art. 19(1), the House is clearly clothed with the jurisdiction to raise the issue of the continued membership of an elected member, or to disqualify a member and remove him from the House. Reading art. 19(1) together with art. 72 of the Federal Constitution, such a decision of the House is clearly not justiciable in law.
CONSTITUTIONAL LAW: Legislature - State Assembly - Assemblyman voluntarily acquired Australian citizenship - Assemblyman renounced citizenship after five years and nominated as candidate for State Constituency - Returned as winner - Ministerial motion moved at Legislative Assembly of State of Sarawak ('Dewan') to disqualify Assemblyman - Whether Assemblyman disqualified for election to Dewan for voluntarily acquiring foreign citizenship - Whether disqualification removed or ceased to have effect - Whether disqualification removed merely by renouncing foreign citizenship - Whether Dewan clothed with jurisdiction to disqualify and remove Assemblyman - Whether there was conflict between art. 118 of Federal Constitution and art. 19(1) of State Constitution of Sarawak - Whether Dewan infringed doctrine of separation of powers - Whether court could question validity of decision taken by Dewan - State Constitution of Sarawak, art. 17(1)(g)

23 JANUARY 2020
An application to recuse a Judicial Commissioner from hearing a suit, and to have it instead heard by a High Court Judge upon the supposition that the Judicial Commissioner may suffer from perceived bias because of the temporary nature of his tenure, or because he could be beholden to the Prime Minister since his appointment and confirmation is allegedly dependent on the latter, is frivolous and devoid of merits, and an affront to the Judiciary. The grounds posited cannot hold water because many Judicial Commissioners have delivered decisions against the Executive and the Government of the day, and further, Judges and Judicial Commissioners, by virtue of their oath of office, ought to be deemed to be able to administer justice without fear or favour, and to apply the law as they understood it free from any extraneous influence, inducement, pressure, threat or interference.
CIVIL PROCEDURE: Judge - Recusal - Recusal of Judicial Commissioner ('JC') - Allegation that JC's decision may favour Prime Minister to earn confirmation as High Court Judge - Whether allegation tenable - Whether there was real danger of biasness - Whether JC should recuse himself

CEKAL TEGUH SDN BHD v. MAHKAMAH PERUSAHAAN, MALAYSIA & ORS As the representation by the Minister under s. 20(3) Industrial Relations Act 1967 was unchallenged, the Industrial Court is empowered to determine whether it has wider jurisdiction including extra-territorial jurisdiction.

CLJ 2020 Volume 3 (Part 6)
Within the regimes of our bankruptcy law, the Receiving and Adjudication orders, once rightly made by the court, cannot be annulled on the basis that the same 'ought not to have been made' based on a subsequent change of circumstance or any new argument regarding the debtor's ability to pay his debts. The debtor's solvency as spoken of in s. 6(3) of the Act read with s. 105(1) thereof, must neccessarily relate to the debtor's ability to pay his debts as they become due, namely at the time of the hearing of the creditor's petition and not otherwise; and no consideration, thus, can be given to his ability to pay the debts subsequently, whether based on a change of circumstance, or his new-found solvency and ability to repay same.

In a charge of trafficking in dangerous drugs under s. 39B(1) of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952, where the offensive drugs were found in a locked room of a house and the key to the room was seized from the accused, lack or absence of exclusivity of the use of the room by the accused per se does not necessarily mean that the accused did not have custody or control of the room or the drugs. In any case, there is nothing in law that requires the prosecution to prove exclusive use of such a room before a conviction under s. 39B(1) can be sustained. If possession need not be exclusive, there is no reason why exclusive use of the room needs to be proved.
Hemankumar Subramaniam v. PP [2020] 3 CLJ 844 [CA]
CRIMINAL LAW: Dangerous drugs - Presumption - Double presumptions - Trial judge invoked presumption of possession under s. 37(d) of Dangerous Drugs Act 1952 ('DDA') to invoke presumption of trafficking under s. 37(da) of DDA - Whether element of possession must be 'found' and not 'deemed' - Whether trial judge erred in invoking double presumptions - Whether accused ought to be acquitted and discharged
CRIMINAL LAW: Dangerous drugs - Possession - Trial judge invoked presumption of possession under s. 37(d) of Dangerous Drugs Act 1952 ('DDA') to invoke presumption of trafficking under s. 37(da) of DDA - Whether accused person had complete control and custody of room in which drugs were found - Whether lack of exclusivity of use of room, per se, negated custody or control of room by accused person - Whether knowledge inferred by conduct of accused - Whether possession proved - Whether conviction for trafficking to be substituted with conviction for possession

A public decision maker, such as the State Minerals Management Authority of Sarawak, must give the person affected by its decision an opportunity to be heard, and must also give reasons for its decision. These rights to natural justice are conferred by the common law, and the Authority is bounded to it notwithstanding that the law under which the decision was made does not provide for or mandate such duties. Hence, where the Authority has rejected an application by a holder of a General Prospecting Licence for a mining licence without first hearing the applicant and without giving any reasons for the rejection, its decision is clearly unfair and tainted with procedural impropriety or breach of natural justice, and liable to be quashed.
Gegah Optima Resources Sdn Bhd v. The State Minerals Management Authority, Sarawak & Ors [2020] 3 CLJ 872 [HC]
ADMINISTRATIVE LAW: Judicial review - Certiorari and mandamus - Application against decision of State Minerals Management Authority ('authority') rejecting application for mining leases - Whether authority empowered to approve or refuse to approve application for mining lease - Whether applicant should be given opportunity to be heard despite no provision under Mineral Ordinance 2004 - Whether right to be heard conferred under common law - Failure to state reason for rejection in letter of refusal - Whether gave rise to inference that relevant fact not considered - Whether decision flawed with procedural impropriety - Whether authority breached rule of natural justice - Whether decision ought to be quashed

An application for enlargement of time under s. 38(4) of the Land Acquisition Act 1960 to object to the compensation made by the Land Administrator may only succeed if 'special circumstances' is shown to have existed as would justify the grant of extension. Be that as it may, the Land Administrator, in awarding compensation, must act impartially and must not succumb to considerations irrelevant to the issues at hand. Where the Land Administrator has denied an applicant the opportunity to be heard or shown possible bias or mala fides in making the award, or acted in such ways as to substantially contribute to the applicant's delay in applying for extension, then, enlargement of time ought to be allowed and allowed despite its inordinate delay. Special circumstances were more than proven in the circumstances.
