Most of the modern countries interpreted the rule liberally. In Malaysia, the liberal approach was celebrated in many decisions such as Lim Cho Hock and Tan Sri Haji Othman Saat. However, the rule suffered a setback in 1988 as the Federal Court adopted a restrictive approach which froze the rule at pre-1977 of common law in Government v Lim Kit Siang. The restrictive approach is condemned in modern era as it does not facilitate the citizens who wish to safeguard their interest or to uphold human rights and rule of law. Hence, many cases in Malaysia were struck out by the court on the basis of lack of standing. Therefore, this research proposes that Malaysia should liberalize the rule of standing to ensure that the rule of law and rights of citizen are safeguarded. This research will also highlight the advantages and disadvantages of the two approaches. In doing so, comparison between the position of locus standi in public law action in Malaysia with England, Australia and Canada will be made.
