The Federal Court has agreed to hear arguments on why Muar MP Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman and a group of his constituents should be granted leave to challenge the government’s decision to withdraw constituency funds from elected representatives.

Free Malaysia Today reported that a three-member panel at the apex court led by justice Nordin Hassan found that the plaintiffs had raised three questions that crossed the threshold under Section 96 of the Courts of Judicature Act 1964.
