Petaling Jaya Utara MP Tony Pua said that the Director General of Immigration and the police should not have absolute power to decide as and when someone gets banned from travelling and that there should be laws that checks the power.
Pua's name was removed from the Immigration blacklist six months ago but he told reporters after today's proceeding that he was going on with the judicial review as it not only involve losses but also his constitutional right.
It was reported that Pua was barred from travelling to Yogjakarta on July 22, 2015, after the IGP informed the Immigration DG that the politician was being investigated under Section 124b of the Penal Code, on alleged actions detrimental to parliament democracy.
Khalid had issued a letter dated July 15, 2015 informing him about the investigation on Pua. Pua renewed his passport on November 2014 and it is valid until April 22, 2020.
Hence, Pua filed a judicial review application in August 2015, to quash the director-general of Immigration Department's decision to issue the order to ban him from travelling overseas.
However, the KL High Court had ruled nine months ago that the ban was allowed to stand as the court ruled the right to travel abroad is not a constitutional right for all.
