Suresh Kumar A/L Velayuthan v Public Prosecutor

The accused, Suresh Kumar A/L Velayuthan, applied for bail pending trial on charges under Sections 130J and 130JB of the Penal Code for providing support to the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Elaam (LTTE) and possessing items related to LTTE. The High Court of Malaya in Kuala Lumpur dismissed the application, holding that Section 13 of the Security Offences (Special Measures) Act 2012 (SOSMA), which prohibits bail for terrorism-related offences, is constitutional and not ultra vires Article 121(1) or Article 8 of the Federal Constitution.
