KUALA LUMPUR: An ad interim injunction order applied by former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad and five other embattled Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) leaders at the High Court on Thursday was due to the lack of time to submit affidavits regarding the actual interim injunction.The interim injunction is in relation to a main suit that challenges their nullification from Bersatu.
Dr Mahathir’s lawyer Mohamed Haniff Khatri Abdulla said the interim injunction application could not be heard and had to be adjourned because the defendants needed time to put in their affidavits, thus the plaintiffs had asked for an ad interim order instead to be effective from June 18 to July 9.
