PUTRAJAYA: Petaling Jaya Utara MP Tony Pua (pic) failed in his bid to challenge the Immigration Department director-general's decision to bar him from travelling abroad. Justice Mohd Zawawi, who sat with Justices Idrus Harun and Kamardin Hashim, dismissed the application with no cost. Pua filed an appeal against the High Court's July 2016 dismissal of his judicial review application challenging the director-general's decision. In his judicial review application, Pua claimed that he was prevented from leaving the country at KL International Airport 2 on July 2, 2015. Pua's lawyer Gobind Singh Deo said they would file an application for leave to appeal at the Apex Court.
