The High Court in Kuala Lumpur has fixed May 24 for the hearing of an inter-parte injunction application by Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak's defamation suit against Petaling Jaya Utara MP Tony Pua.
This is over a video that Pua had posted on Facebook live on April 6, alleging the Syariah Court (Criminal Jurisdiction) Act 1965 (Act 355) is used to divert attention over 1MDB.
Judicial commissioner Wan Ahmad Farid Wan Salleh fixed the date in chambers after meeting lawyers representing both parties.
While filing the suit 14 days ago, Najib had obtained an ex-parte injunction barring the DAP national publicity secretary from repeating the purported defamatory words.
Pua's lawyer Joanne Chua today said the ex-parte injunction lapses after 21 days, on May 12. However, the court allowed the injunction be extended until the disposal of the inter-parte hearing on May 24.
Najib's lawyer Nik Alia Hanadi confirmed the May 24th hearing date and the extension of the ex-parte injunction.
According to Chua, today was supposed to be the hearing of an inter-parte injunction, but the date was unsuitable for lead counsel Gobind Singh Deo.
The PM filed the defamation suit against Pua, stating the words uttered by the DAP lawmaker had meant that he (Najib) had abused his powers by directing the Cabinet, through the Dewan Rakyat speaker, to see the tabling of amendments to Act 355 by PAS President Abdul Hadi Awang.
Najib claimed Pua insinuated that he had disregarded the principle of separation of powers between the executive, legislature and judiciary.
