p2p news / p2pnet: A man in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, has been told he can’t use his web page to complain about defects he says were in his Malaysian-made Perodua car.

The High Court ordered Richard Fong Khee Choon in Septembert, 2003, "to dismantle a personal Web site he had set up in October 2002 after purchasing an allegedly defective Kelisa car from Perodua," says the Associated Press.

"The Appeals Court judges said they agreed with the High Court that the allegations in Fong’s Web site, which contained one article about his grievances, ‘attacked the reputation and integrity of the company’."

AP says Fong bought the car in August 2002 and emailed Perodua about alleged problems in the vehicle, going on to start his web site.

"In response, Perodua sued him for defamation, and obtained an interim order from the High Court to have the Web site shut pending a resolution of the defamation suit."
