KUALA LUMPUR: The ban on controversial comic
Belt and Road Initiative for Win-Winism authored by former DAP member Dr Hew Kuan Yau (pix) or popularly known as “Superman Hew” remains.
This was after the High Court Judge Datuk Noorin Badaruddin dismissed Hew’s application for a judicial review to challenge the book ban.
Justice Noorin, in her judgment, ruled that the Home Minister’s decision to ban the book was legal, reasonable and ought not to be disturbed by the court.
“The contents of the book are likely to be prejudicial to the public order. The book has raised anger in this country and must be forfeit to avoid unwanted incidents from happening. The Home Minister is also aware that the contents of the book fail to take into account the sensitivity of the multi-racial and multi-religious society and that it might divide the unity.
