Kuala lumpur: Malaysian Resources Corporation Bhd (MRCB) has obtained a consent judgment at the Shah Alam High Court against activist Abdul Razak Ismail over online publications concerning the demolition and redevelopment of the Shah Alam Stadium, which the company alleged had caused economic damage.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, Judicial Commissioner Shoba Rajah Dorai Rajah recorded the consent order on June 22 after the first defendant reached a settlement during cross-examination by MRCB's counsel, Datuk Selva Mookiah. In 2024, the company initiated legal action against Abdul Razak and blogger Murray Hunter over a series of posts published on Facebook and Hunter's Substack platform, questioning the stadium demolition and redevelopment project.

The company alleged that these online publications amounted to economic sabotage and inflicted damage on MRCB. Under the terms recorded before the court, Abdul Razak agreed to a permanent injunction restraining him from publishing or republishing the allegations central to the suit. He also committed to removing all relevant postings within 72 hours, refraining from repeating the allegations, and not conspiring with Hunter or any other parties to publish similar allegations concerning the matter.

When contacted, Selva mentioned that MRCB's action against Hunter, who was believed to have absconded, would continue. The court has fixed July 10 for submissions by the company regarding its claim against Hunter, with the judgment scheduled for July 17.
