Kerajaan Negeri Pahang v. Shariffa Sabrina binti Syed Akil

The Pahang State Government filed a defamation suit against Shariffa Sabrina binti Syed Akil over social media posts alleging corruption and mismanagement in forestry activities. The defendant sought to transfer the case to Kuala Lumpur High Court and applied to strike out the suit, arguing the statements were fair comment and criticism of a public body. The court rejected both applications, holding that the case should proceed to trial in Temerloh High Court.
