Kuala Lumpur, Jan 15 - In a surprise move, the Attorney General's Chambers has applied for a court order to prohibit public discussion of a purported royal addendum related to former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib, with Cabinet minister Fahmi revealing that the government did not direct the AGC to seek the gag order. This development has sparked intense debate about freedom of speech and the role of the AGC in Malaysian politics, with many calling for greater transparency. The case is expected to have significant implications for the country's legal landscape and media freedom. Keywords like 'gag order' and 'royal addendum' are trending on social media.
