May Day Rally | Organisers of anti-GST rally cant be charged, says Bar Council The authorities must refrain from arresting and charging organisers of the May 1 anti-Goods and Services tax rally, in light of the landmark Court of Appeal decision on Friday that declared the punishment under Section 9 (5) is unconstitutional. Bar Council of Malaysia president Christopher Leong said the attorney general should not proffer any charges on the organisers due to the appellate court’s decision, or keep the charge in abeyance.
