Farhash obtains injunction to stop Bloomberg publishing allegedly defamatory report

Datuk Seri Farhash Wafa Salvador Rizal Mubarak has obtained an injunction from the High Court to prevent Bloomberg News and its subsidiary from publishing statements he claims are defamatory. Judicial Commissioner Kan Weng Hin granted the injunction following legal proceedings initiated by Farhash over a proposed article. His lawyers stated the article contained false, baseless and defamatory allegations.

Bloomberg News had indicated their intention to publish the article before the legal proceedings began. The injunction now prohibits Bloomberg News and all parties from publishing, republishing, circulating or disseminating the identified defamatory statements. The lawyers did not disclose the nature of the alleged statements. Farhash's legal team emphasized the matter is before the court and they intend to protect their client's reputation through legal channels.
