The High Court in Kuala Lumpur today postponed its decision on a judicial review application on the decision of the Registrar of Societies (ROS) to dissolve and deregister Balkis, the Wives of Selangor State Assemblypersons and Members of Parliament Welfare and Charity Organisation.

Judge Rohana Yusuf postponed the decision to Dec 15 in her chambers.

The application was filed by the Selangor government and nine others - wife of Selangor Menteri Besar Salbiah Tunut, Permodalan Negeri Selangor Berhad, Kumpulan Darul Ehsan Berhad, Selangor State Development Corporation, Worldwide Holdings Berhad, Selangor Industrial Corporation Sdn Bhd, Selaman Sdn Bhd, PKNS Infra Berhad and PKNS Engineering and Construction Bhd.

Balkis came under media focus when Menteri Besar Abdul Khalid Ibrahim alleged that there was misappropriation of funds by its former president Zaharah Kechik, wife of the former Selangor menteri besar Dr Mohamad Khir Toyo.

In the application, the applicants among others seek an order to set aside the decision of ROS, a declaration that the decision was illegal and null and void as well as to reinstate the organisation (Balkis).
