The Federal Court of Malaysia, led by Chief Justice Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat, unanimously ruled that Section 9(5) of the Peaceful Assembly Act (PAA) 2012 is unconstitutional, eliminating the requirement for rally organizers to provide authorities with a five-day notice. The decision was made in response to a challenge by former Muda secretary-general Amir Hariri Abdul Hadi, who was charged for not notifying authorities before a 2022 protest regarding the littoral combat ship issue. The ruling was announced on the Chief Justice’s final day before retirement, following the Kuala Lumpur High Court’s approval on August 8, 2024, for Amir’s case to be heard by the Federal Court.
