DAP lawmaker Ramkarpal Singh has called on Kedah Chief Minister Datuk Seri Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor to respect a Federal Court ruling that upheld the state’s ban on gambling premises. The court decision, which was finalized recently, has sparked debate among local lawmakers and community leaders.
Singh’s appeal comes amid ongoing discussions about the regulation of gambling in Kedah. While the court has affirmed the ban, some local officials have expressed concerns about its impact on local businesses and economic activity. The ruling has also drawn attention from civil society groups, who argue for a balanced approach between legal compliance and community needs.
The situation highlights the tension between state authority and judicial decisions in Malaysia. As the debate continues, stakeholders are expected to engage in further dialogue to find a resolution that aligns with both legal standards and public interest.
