Federal Court to hear dispute over expulsion of Penang Swimming Club president

The Federal Court has granted permission to appeal the expulsion of former Penang Swimming Club president Chan Kean Hin. The case is centered on disciplinary proceedings against Chan due to decisions made by the club’s management committee during his presidency. The appeal focuses on three questions of law, as the Court of Appeal overturned a Penang High Court ruling last March, which had initially dismissed Chan's application.

The dispute centers on the committee's jurisdiction and whether club rules should be interpreted in a broad or strict manner.
