NGO mulls legal action over non-compliance with FOI order on SIP concession
PJ Sejahtera says state authorities and GLCs failed to comply with a disclosure ruling on the Selangor Intelligent Parking concession for over 140 days.
The community advocacy group PJ Sejahtera is contemplating judicial intervention following Selangor's non-compliance with an April 14 freedom of information order concerning the SIP concession. The Selangor Intelligent Parking project has come under scrutiny due to document classification under the Official Secrets Act and the involvement of a second concessionaire, Selmax Sdn Bhd, alongside RMSB.
Despite Menteri Besar Selangor Incorporated (MBI Selangor) and RMSB failing to meet the May 5 deadline for disclosing 15 categories of SIP documents, only a partial response has been received from the latter. PJ Sejahtera's pro tem chairman, Tunku Johan Mansur, criticized the lack of compliance, stating that a binding order from a properly constituted appeals board has not yielded significant results.
The group presented the case to Parliament's special select committee on the Freedom of Information Bill on September 28 and submitted a written statement to committee chair Azalina Othman Said.
