Malaysian rights group sues Minister K Shanmugam in KL over Pofma correction order

KUALA LUMPUR - A Malaysia-based rights group is suing Singapore's Home Affairs Minister K. Shanmugam for issuing an order, under Singapore's fake news law, to correct statements it made on the country's execution method.

Should they fail to do it, he pointed out that the Singapore Government said"we would be guilty of a criminal offence under the Pofma ," he told reporters at the court complex after filing the papers. Giving his reason for the suit, Mr Surendran said he believed the corrections order was"an attempt by Singapore to encroach upon, or to crackdown the freedom of speech in Malaysia and impose its fake news Act on Malaysians".

On Jan 16, LFL said in a statement that prison officers in Singapore were instructed to kick the back of the neck of a prisoner with great force to break it if the rope breaks during a hanging and that the Singapore Government approved of"unlawful methods" that are used to cover up an execution if the rope breaks.

It added:"Prison officers certainly do not receive any 'special training to carry out the brutal execution method' as alleged. Any acts such as those described in the LFL statement would have been thoroughly investigated and dealt with." Mr Shanmugam, who is also the Law Minister, had said in May 2019 that almost 30 per cent of drug traffickers caught in Singapore in 2018 were Malaysians, and nearly 30 per cent of the heroin seized, by weight, was brought in by Malaysians.

Hahaha.... oh I am sure Shanmugam, the Singapore law ministry and even the government must shivering and wetting their pants getting sued in a Malaysian court !! Bring it on !

I believe Minister Shanmugam will be appointing lawyer(s) from Malaysia to represent him in Kuala Lumpur. It is difficult for the Minister to get his lawyers in Singapore to represent him as Malaysia has very capable and experienced lawyer(s) to take up his case.

What do you expect from a bunch of lawyers? 😒

Looking at how dubiously and deviously deceitful liars LFL and Surendran are well-known for, they will go every means to legalize their lies and continue with their tyranny behind falsehoods being conveniently justified as freedom of speech & expression!
