What platforms were used to allegedly defame the IGP?

Question

Accepted Answer

The Inspector-General of Police has obtained court permission to pursue contempt proceedings against blogger Papagomo for alleged non-compliance with an injunction order.

The Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Tan Sri Razarudin Husain, has been granted leave by the High Court to initiate committal proceedings against blogger Papagomo, whose real name is Wan Muhammad Azri Wan Deris. This action stems from allegations that Wan Muhammad Azri failed to adhere to a court injunction previously issued on January 10. Committal proceedings are legal actions taken against individuals accused of contempt of court for violating an existing order.
Allegations of Defamatory Content Dissemination

Wan Muhammad Azri is alleged to have published content concerning the IGP on various social media platforms. These platforms reportedly include YouTube, TikTok, X (formerly Twitter), and Telegram. The court's injunction on January 10 was specifically designed to prevent Wan Muhammad Azri from publishing or disseminating any defamatory statements against the IGP on any social media platform while the defamation suit is ongoing.
Court Orders for Removal of Content

In addition to prohibiting future publications, the court had previously ordered Wan Muhammad Azri to take specific actions regarding existing content. He was directed to retract, remove, and delete video postings made on his YouTube, TikTok, Facebook, Telegram, and X accounts. These specific video postings, dated December 14, 15, 20, and 22 of the previous year, were identified as containing defamatory statements made against the IGP.
Scope of the Injunction

The court's injunction extended beyond just new publications. It also barred Wan Muhammad Azri, or any of his agents, from publishing or causing the republication of any statements, videos, statuses, comments, or any references to the IGP. This prohibition applies irrespective of the medium, including written, verbal, online, or instant messaging platforms such as Telegram and WhatsApp, and covers content related to the IGP’s official position and personal capacity.
