March 23 High Court decision on sPICE suit

Friday, 17 February 2012 10:39

GEORGE TOWN: The High Court here has fixed March 23 to decide on a suit filed by four ratepayers who have challenged the validity of the subterranean Penang Inter­national Convention and Exhibi­­tion Centre (sPICE) project’s agreement.

Counsel M. Thayalan, who is representing the plaintiffs, said the court informed him yesterday that Justice Varghese George Varughese would make the decision on March 23.

Khoo Yen Her, R. Rama Krishnan, Abdul Manan Abdul Manap and K. Sathiasilan, who filed the suit last November, had named the Penang state executive councillors, Penang Municipal Council (MPPP) and project developer Eco Meridian Sdn Bhd as defendants in the writ of summons.

Eco Meridian is a subsidiary of SP Setia Bhd, the sPICE project’s concessionaire.

The plaintiffs, who claimed that they were bringing the action on behalf of the island’s taxpayers, are seeking a copy of the agreement between MPPP and Eco Meridian.

In their statement of claim, they want the court to declare that the order given by the state authorities to the council to enter into the agreement was inconsistent and ultra vires (beyond the powers) of Section 9 (1) of the Local Go­­vernment Act 1976.
