S'gor Bersatu Youth chief fails to initiate judicial review against MCMC, Fahmi
KUALA LUMPUR: Selangor Bersatu Youth chief Na’im Brundage has failed in his bid for leave to initiate a judicial review over the blocking of two of his TikTok accounts three years ago.
Selangor Bersatu Youth chief Na im Brundage's attempt to initiate a judicial review against the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) and Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil has been unsuccessful. The High Court ruled in favor of MCMC and Fahmi, dismissing Na im's application. Judge Norliza Othman found that the blocking of Na im's two TikTok accounts was decided by TikTok and not MCMC.
MCMC's role was limited to issuing a warning to TikTok about compliance issues with platform guidelines, after which TikTok decided to block Na im's accounts. The court emphasized that judicial review concerns the decision-making process, not the merits of a decision, and that MCMC only carried out administrative actions.
