Kuala Lumpur: The High Court has denied an animal rights group leave to challenge the attorney-general’s (AG) decision not to bring criminal proceedings in a case involving the torture of baby long-tailed macaques.
Justice Ahmad Kamal Md Shahid refused Hak Asasi Hidupan Liar Malaysia’s application for judicial review, holding that the group had failed to show that the AG had exercised his powers unreasonably.“The confession of a suspect was not proven and was merely hearsay. “No direct evidence was adduced to prove the suspect had committed the offence,” he said, pointing out that Telegram screenshots, videos and a police report presented to court did not establish “compelling” prima facie evidence.
