The Federal Court has allowed for contempt proceedings against news portal Malaysiakini and its editor-in-chief Steven Gan over readers’ comments on the judiciary.
A three-member panel led by Judge Rohana Yusof ruled today that the applicant - Attorney-General Idrus Harun (above) - had managed to establish prima facie for the application.
Case management has been set for June 25 and the next hearing will be on July 2.
Idrus was represented by deputy public prosecutor Alice Loke this morning while Malaysiakini was represented by counsel A Surendra Ananth.
Speaking to the media afterwards, Surendra said he would need to seek his client’s instructions before deciding on further action.
