Dirty silencing tactics before by-elections
Government using GLCs to silence critics and the media
In a bid to silence opposition politicians before the coming two Johor byelections, the government through a GLC has successfully gained an injunction to silence any criticism of the Selangor Stadium issues.
The plaintiff (MRCB, a partner with the Selangor State government in the Selangor Stadium project) gained an interim injunction against a politician/activist Abdul Razak bin Ismail. FMT Media, Sinar Karangkirak and the New Straits Times Press to stop posting and/or publishing and post or media in relation to the Selangor Stadium issue. This means that Abdul Razak cannot talk about the Stadium issue in the Pulai Parliamentary seat, and Simpang Jeram state seat, where he is campaigning.
David and Goliath: Abdul Razak Ismail fighting against corruption and for transparency in government. Bullied by a GLC, that would prefer not to answer questions.
Abdul Razak has pointed out a number of anomalies and breach of government procedures in the tendering for the Selangor Stadium project. He tried to gain answers from the Selangor Menteri Besar Amirudin Shari. Rather than answer any questions, the strategic partner/contractor with the Selangor State government took legal action for defamation against Razak, and has now obtained an injunction, effectively silencing any questioning to the Selangor government on the project.
The media companies mentioned in the injunction are forbidden to write, print, or publish anything about the Selangor Stadium project.
This is an attack on the fairness of political campaigning, freedom of speech, and press freedom. Most importantly of all, this completely erases transparency of government, when issuing contracts to corporations, outside the tendering process.
This is yet another tool in the arsenal of weapons the government is using to silence critics, and questions about the processes of government.
Fourfold increase Shah Alam Stadium project costs rushed through state exco
MRCB appointed by the Selangor State Government to redevelopment the Shah Alam Stadium site in July 2022 TMJ was right, the cost to redevelop the Shah Alam Stadium will cost much more than RM 787 million. The tendered project to construct a new stadium with seating capacity between 35-45,000 people is illogical.

A court injunction is "silencing"?
So Sanusi is also a victim because Vincent Tan got an injunction?
Rapists are victims when courts order them to stay away from people they've assaulted?
Interesting.
You're not earning your money, sonny.

Keep flailing.
It stinks of a racket going on.
However, we do need a stadium with a huge seating capacity, we have to fill up all the seats for our army of thuggish hooligans who can defend Malaysia against the peaceful Indons during competitions we are good at losing.
