PUTRAJAYA (Bernama): A man who is facing a charge in the Syariah High Court for attempting to commit unnatural sexual intercourse failed in his bid Tuesday (Oct 6) to remain anonymous in a motion to challenge the constitutionality of a provision in the Selangor Syariah law.
Chief Judge of Sabah and Sarawak Datuk Abang Iskandar Abang Hashim, in dismissing the application by the 35-year-old man petitioner, said the court found that there was no cogent reason adduced before the court to justify an anonymity order to restrict the publication of his name.
