BUTTERWORTH: A heated argument ensued after a deputy public prosecutor requested the court to give an order to stop anyone from giving sub judice comments on the trial against former finance minister Lim Guan Eng.

Lead DPP Ahmad Akram Gharib made the application after DAP national publicity secretary Tony Pua was said to have questioned the credibility of one of the witnesses as reported by an online news portal.
