Six years ago, Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) enforcement officers brought down three banners at the Bar Council headquarters that were put up for its Human Rights Day celebration.

Recently, the High Court in Kuala Lumpur entered judgment against the KL City mayor for the DBKL action. It ruled that the banners on human rights do not fall within the realm of ‘advertisement' that requires a licence from DBKL.
