The government is appealing a Kuala Lumpur High Court decision allowing a batch of 48 voters from Segamat to formally challenge the Election Commission's move to reject their objection to the inclusion of 949 army personnel and their spouses onto the electoral roll.

This was revealed today by lawyer Jamie Lee who is appearing for the 48 Segamat voters.

Lee said the Attorney-General's Chambers filed the notice of appeal which was dated Jan 10.
