KUALA LUMPUR, July 31 — The High Court in Alor Setar, Kedah has issued a court order to temporarily stop former Kedah menteri besar Datuk Seri Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor from repeating alleged defamatory remarks against Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim regarding the latter’s royal pardon, while waiting for Anwar’s defamation lawsuit against Sanusi to be heard.
“The effect of the interim Injunction is that Sanusi is restrained from repeating, uttering and publishing statements at, inter alia, any ceramahs, events, interviews, postings or publication in the media against the PM,” Sankara said in a statement today.Sankara said Sanusi will be subject to proceedings for contempt of court if he does repeat those alleged defamatory remarks, with the lawyer arguing that repeating those remarks would amount to a contempt of court.
The court order also stated that Sanusi has to comply with the interim injunction immediately after it has been delivered or served to him.Prior to Anwar’s successful obtaining of the interim injunction yesterday, Sankara claimed that Sanusi had repeated similar defamatory remarks against Anwar at two ceramahs, namely the “Jelajah PN Best Negeri Sembilan” on March 18, 2023 in Nilai, Negeri Sembilan and the “Jelajah Selangor Baharu-Selayang” on July 11, 2023 at Selayang, Selangor.
