King's decision on emergency cannot be challenged in any court

The Kuala Lumpur High Court today ruled that the Yang di-Pertuan Agong’s proclamation and the ordinances enacted under the emergency law cannot be challenged in any court of law.

Judge Ahmad Kamal Mohd Shahid said this was provided for under Article 150(8) of the Federal Constitution which among others states that the Yang di-Pertuan Agong’s decision over the proclamation of emergency shall be final and conclusive and shall not be challenged or called in question in any court on any ground.
