The Court of Appeal has fixed March 29 to hear the Penang state government’s appeal against a government decree declaring its Voluntary Patrol Unit (PPS) illegal.

The lawyer representing the state government, Ganesan Nethi, told Malaysiakini of this following case management before deputy registrar Surya Wati Shawal this morning.

“All papers are in order, so we have fixed the hearing date,” he said when contacted today.

The Home Ministry had previously declared that the PPS is an illegal organisation as it is not a registered society.
