Superman Hew’s book doesn’t trigger racial tension, Appellate Court rules
The Court of Appeal has ruled that the comic book ‘Belt and Road Initiative for Win Winism’ does not contain material that would prejudice public order.
Representing the unanimous decision of the three-person bench, judge P Ravinthran pointed out that no untoward incident occurred in Malaysia in the six months before the Home Ministry banned the book by former DAP member Hew Kuan Yau via an order gazetted on Oct 23, 2019.
