KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin has obtained an interim injunction to restrain Umno Supreme Council member Mohd Puad Zarkashi from making any statement over a defamatory posting made through his Facebook last month.
Lawyer Rosli Dahlan, who represented Muhyididin, said the injunction was obtained this evening following an urgent application before High Court judge Mohd Firus Jaffril. “The judge granted an interim injunction pending the disposal of the inter parte hearing,” he told FMT in a text message. Earlier today, Muhyiddin filed a defamation suit against Puad and also applied with a certificate of urgency for the interim injunction.
According to lawyers, the interim injunction would remain enforced until Puad or his lawyers set aside the order.
