The Federal Court is hearing the contempt proceedings against Malaysiakini at the Palace of Justice in Putrajaya.

Among the possible outcomes of today’s apex court proceedings are that the independent news portal is slapped with a fine, or its editor-in-chief Steven Gan jailed.

Legal representatives acting for applicant Attorney-General Idrus Harun, and the respondents, namely Malaysiakini and Gan, will submit before the apex court on whether to allow or dismiss the contempt bid.
