Gag order against politicians 'overkill', says Zaid

Former law minister Zaid Ibrahim today urged the judiciary to be careful in issuing gag orders in political-related cases, saying that such a move is an “overkill”.

This comes after the High Courts in Johor Bahru and Kuala Lumpur barred Bersatu’s Chegubard and pro-opposition blogger Papagomo from making any statements related to sedition charges they were facing.
