KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 14 — The High Court in Shah Alam today rejected two similar court challenges by five local school teachers and 19 Universiti Malaya (UM) staff against an October 2021 government circular that made it compulsory for them to undergo vaccination against the Covid-19 virus.
Senior federal counsel Liew Horng Bin told Malay Mail when contacted that High Court judge Shahnaz Sulaiman had dismissed the two judicial review applications with no order as to costs.
The five teachers from five different schools in Terengganu, Kelantan, Melaka and Selangor jointly filed their court challenge on October 27, 2021 at the High Court in Shah Alam through a judicial review application against six respondents, namely the education minister, the education director-general, the Public Service Department’s (PSD) director-general, the health minister, the health director-general and the federal government.
They sought nine main court orders.
