Goh Failed to Meet Threshold Requirement Under Federal Court Rules

A businessman detained under the Prevention of Crime Act 1959 (POCA) has failed in his application for a review of a Federal Court decision. The Federal Court dismissed Goh Leong Yeong's application for a review of the court's majority decision that had previously ruled against his bid for a writ of habeas corpus.
Review Application Dismissed by Federal Court

A three-member bench of the Federal Court, led by Chief Justice Tun Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat, unanimously dismissed Goh Leong Yeong's application for a review of the court's earlier majority decision. This decision means Goh's attempt to overturn the Federal Court's dismissal of his habeas corpus application has been unsuccessful.
Failure to Fulfil Rule 137 Threshold

The Federal Court held that Goh had failed to fulfil the threshold requirement as stipulated under Rule 137 of the Rules of the Federal Court 1995. This failure was the basis for the court's dismissal of his review application.
Original Habeas Corpus Bid and Detention

Goh, who is currently serving a two-year detention in Simpang Renggam prison under POCA, had sought to set aside the Federal Court’s majority ruling. This ruling had affirmed the legality of his initial 21-day remand order from October 31 last year under Section 4(1)(a) of POCA. He had initially filed for a writ of habeas corpus to secure his release from detention.
