  "account": "Ketua Pemuda Bersatu Selangor, Na’im Brundage, failed to secure an appeal to begin a court hearing against the Communications and Multimedia Commission of Malaysia (SKMM) over the restrictions imposed on two of his TikTok accounts. The High Court judge, Norliza Othman, ruled that the decision to limit or suspend Na’im's TikTok accounts was not made by SKMM. He stated that SKMM's decision to notify TikTok that Na’im had breached the platform's community guidelines, leading to the restrictions imposed on his accounts, was not a decision that could be appealed in court. \"In this case, the first hurdle failed to be established by the petitioner, which is who made the decision to monitor and restrict his TikTok account,\" she said while upholding the government's preliminary objection to Na’im’s claim. The deputy manager and communications liaison for Bersatu, who filed the appeal in June 2024, naming SKMM's Chief Safety Officer Sulaiman Sultan Suhaibuddeen; SKMM's chairman; Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil; and the government as respondents, claimed the restrictions on his accounts violated Section 3(3) of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998, as well as alleging there was no reasonable purpose under the act for the action. Na’im’s lawyer, Latheefa Koya, told reporters after proceedings that they would appeal the decision. Solicitor A Ruebankumar represented SKMM, while Solicitor General Ainna Sherina Saipolamin represented Fahmi and the government.",
