Court strikes out Lawyers for Liberty suits linked to S'pore home minister

The Malaysian government has succeeded in its application to strike out Lawyers for Liberty’s (LFL) two suits linked to Singapore’s attempt to enforce the republic’s anti-fake news law against the local law advocacy group.

Kuala Lumpur High Court judge Ahmad Kamal Mohd Shahid allowed the striking-out application against LFL’s two originating summons late this afternoon.
