Malaysia's High Court has dismissed former Sarawak PKR leader Baru Bian's attempt to strike out a RM10 million suit filed by the party against him for breaching a bond. Baru, 68, is one of six former PKR MPs named in the suit filed in March by PKR, led by its secretary-general Fuziah Salleh. The suit alleges that the six MPs played a role in the collapse of the 22-month-old Pakatan Harapan (PH) government in 2020 following the Sheraton Move.
Baru claimed that the cause of action arose in Sarawak, where PKR's headquarters were located, but PKR argued that the party's headquarters are in Selangor. The court dismissed Baru's application with costs of RM4,000.
