KUALA LUMPUR, March 12 — A High Court judge today granted Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin an ad-interim injunction order against Datuk Mohd Puad Zarkashi, barring him from posting anything defamatory against the prime minister that will serve as an extension to an existing ex-parte injunction order against the Umno man that expires on March 21.
Today’s ad-interim order was granted by Judge Datuk Seri Mohd Firuz Jaffril when the case came up for mention this afternoon and is valid until the disposal of two ongoing applications by the two politicians against each other, both stemming from a defamation suit Muhyiddin served Mohd Puad over an allegedly slanderous Facebook posting.
