MIC fails to strike out Pakatan petition to

nullify Cameron parliamentary seat

KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court here has dismissed the application by MIC's Datuk C.
Sivarrajh (pic) to strike out an election petition by Pakatan Harapan's M. Manogaran to challenge
the 14th General Election result for the Cameron Highlands parliamentary seat.

High Court (Appellate and Special Powers) judge Justice Azizah Nawawi, who made the
dismissal in chambers, fixed next Wednesday (Sept 5) for hearing proper in the case.

Manogaran, who is the Pahang DAP deputy chairman, told reporters that a portion of the petition
had been struck out but the part alleging corruption remains.

"We will be calling 36 orang asli witnesses to the stand," he said Thursday.

The respondent will be calling 16 witnesses.

On June 4, Manogaran filed the election petition seeking to nullify the GE result.
He claimed that Sivarraajh and Jelai assemblyman Datuk Seri Wan Rosdy Wan Ismail, who is
Pahang Mentri Besar, had met nine village heads and given them money to distribute between
RM30 and RM1,000 each to orang asli constituents.

He named Sivarraajh as the sole respondent in his application.

Manogaran is seeking a declaration that the election for the constituency on May 9 is not valid,
and other relief deemed fit by the court.

In the election, Sivarraajh won the seat with 10,307 votes while Manogaran polled 9,710, PAS'
Wan Mahadir Wan Mahmud 3,587, PSM's B. Suresh Kumar 680, and Berjasa candidate Mohd
Tahir Kassim 81.

Lawyers M. Rajenthirakumar and K. Shanmuga represented Manogaran while Sivarraajh was


represented by lawyer Datuk Mohd Hafarizam Harun.
