KUALA LUMPUR (March 11): The government has been granted a stay of execution pending its appeal in the case of activist Amri Che Mat, who went missing almost a decade ago. She also concurred with the government's argument that there were special circumstances to grant a stay. He was referring to the RM 3 million awarded by the High Court in its November 2025 judgement. However, Surendra stressed that they were objecting to the government’s request for a stay on the High Court’s order for investigations to continue. She argued that special circumstances exist for a stay because this specific order by the High Court was unconstitutional and beyond its jurisdiction.
