Judge Yew Jen Kie said the reason for the additional order to her ruling last week was to explain why she ordered the notice to be republished.
In her ruling on the judicial review, brought by Batu Lintang assemblyman See Chee How and a voter in Ulu Baram, Pauls Baya, the judge agreed with See's contention that there was serious and considerable lacking in the detailed particulars of the proposed recommendations disclosed by EC which were opened for inspection from January 5 to February 4.
Yew said it was essential for the EC to publish the electoral roll, the list of proposed changes, the areas affected so the public would know how they would be affected by the changes to the constituency, if they are affected and therefore could make a representation to the EC.
She said the failure of the EC to publish the notice in detail had breached the requirements spelt out in the Federal Constitution.
