The Court of Appeal here today dismissed with costs of former chief minister Musa Aman's appeal against the dismissal of his suit, challenging Mohd Shafie Apdal's appointment as Sabah Chief Minister.
The three-member bench comprising justices Kamardin Hashim, Rhodzariah Bujang and Mohamad Zabidin Mohd Diah allowed the respondents' preliminary objection to strike out the appeal.
Kamardin read out the decision by the three judges and ordered Musa (photo) to pay RM20,000 to the first respondent, Sabah head of state Juhar Mahiruddin, and RM80,000 to Mohd Shafie, the second respondent.
Musa was represented by Tengku Fuad Tengku Ahmad, Anantham Kasinather and S. Vanugopal, while Juhar and Mohd Shafie were represented by Sabah attorney-general Zaleha Rose Pandin and Douglas Lind respectively.
In objecting to the appeal, Lind tendered a letter, which was signed by Sabah state legislative assembly secretary Shafaruddin Halide, listing all the members of the Sabah state legislative assembly and their political affiliations with the majority in Mohd Shafie's Parti Warisan Sabah-led government.
