Malaysia's High Court issues gag order on Bersatu member Badrul Hisham Shaharin in defamation case.

Malaysia's High Court has issued a gag order against Bersatu member Badrul Hisham Shaharin (Chegubard) to prevent him from making comments on his ongoing criminal defamation case, as the court seeks to maintain the sanctity of the trial. This decision followed the prosecution's successful application to review the Sessions Court's rejection of an earlier gag order request. Chegubard faces charges of defamation and sedition.
