Chief Judge of Malaya Azahar Mohamed rules Malaysia's top court cannot exercise exclusive jurisdiction to hear the matter. FMTNews Education Malaysia

Lawyer Khairul Azam Abdul Aziz speaks to reporters after filing his motion for leave at the Federal Court last month.

“Therefore, the court that is competent to hear the usual constitutional challenges to an Act of Parliament is the High Court,” he said in his judgment. Under Section 17 of the overhauled Education Act, passed in 1996 to replace the Education Ordinance of 1956 and the Education Act of 1961, the national language is stated as the main medium of instruction except in national-type schools established under Section 28 or other educational institutions exempted by the minister.

It states that the education minister may establish national schools and national-type schools and shall maintain such schools.
