The police have been ordered by the High Court in Kuala Lumpur not to disrupt the hearing of a civil suit filed by a former driver against actress Zahida Mohamed Rafik, who was said to have an affair with Rural Development Minister Shafie Apdal.

The order was issued by High Court judge Hue Siew Kheng after lawyer Latheefa Koya, for the driver Noor Azman Azemi, told Justice Hue of the possible threat of arrest faced by her client.
