Transgenders lose review bid over Federal Court ruling on state syariah law

Three bridal make-up artists lost their bid to obtain leave to review the 2015 Federal Court’s decision which set aside the Court of Appeal's ruling that a provision in the Negeri Sembilan syariah law against cross-dressers was unconstitutional.

Chief Justice Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat who chaired the Federal Court five-member panel today dismissed the application brought by Muhamad Juzaili Mohd Khamis, Shukor Jani and Wan Fairol Wan Ismail.
