KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 23 — The High Court here today allowed Swatch group to continue its lawsuit against the government in connection with the Home Ministry’s seizure of 172 watches from its Pride collection.
In today’s court proceedings, Swatch was represented today by lawyers Nizam Bashir and Kee Hui Yee, while senior federal counsel Farah Shuhada Ramli represented the government., KDN banned all elements of"Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer and Plus ” on Swatch’s timepieces and accessories, nearly three months after it seized 172 items in raids of the company’s stores in Malaysia.
It also filed amendments in July to its court papers for the lawsuit to ask for two additional court orders, namely a declaration that Section 16 of the Printing Presses and Publications Act 1984 only authorises the Home Ministry's officers to search Swatch's stores in"exigent circumstances” or urgent circumstances, and an order to quash the decisions and actions of the Home Ministry officers on the searches of Swatch stores and seizures of the watches.
