KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 22 — An animal activist and a non-governmental organisation today failed their bid to obtain leave from the High Court here to challenge the Attorney General’s decision for refusing to take further action on a police report in a monkey torture case.
Dr Kartini and Hidup filed their judicial review applications last June 16 naming the Royal Malaysia Police , Attorney General’s Chambers and the Malaysian government as the first to third respondents. “As this nature of the application requires a higher standard of review, it is my view that the applicants have failed to pass this hurdle,” he added.
He said the application seeking the court to declare that the decision made by the AG dated April 5 was unreasonable and procedurally improper. In the application, Dr Kartini claimed that on January 20, she received information from two animal lovers associations from the United Kingdom and the United States about a group that celebrated the torture of monkeys as what the said individual had been doing, and that the group has a large following on Telegram.
