High Court says no to gag order on former PM’s case 


KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court here has dismissed an application for a gag order against public discourse on Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s judicial review of a royal addendum order that purportedly would allow him to serve the rest of his sentence under house arrest.

Justice Alice Loke Yee Ching, in her decision, said the Attorney General’s application did not satisfy the threshold required for a gag order.
