Johor MB, two others to answer in court over Lido beach suit

The office of the Johor menteri besar, the director of the State Land and Mines Department and the State Economic Planning Unit will have to answer at the Johor Baru High Court whether they should be subjected to contempt in a matter related to the development of the Lido beach.

This follows the decision of the Court of Appeal in Putrajaya today to unanimously dismiss their appeal on a leave (permission) to initiate contempt following their failure to comply with a court's compliance order in a suit brought by the Johor branch of the Malay Chamber of Commerce Malaysia regarding the beach development.

Part of the Lido beach is now the Danga Bay development project.
