The Straits Times|November 26, 2024
Swiss watchmaker Swatch Group has won its lawsuit against the Malaysian government over 2023's controversial seizure of its Pride-themed watches in the South-east Asian nation, according to a report by news portal Malaysiakini.

The Malaysian High Court on Nov 25 ordered the Home Ministry to return the watches within 14 days, after a judge ruled the seizure illegal.

"The search was made without a warrant and is illegal. Therefore, any seizures made as stated in notices of seizure are illegal," Justice Amarjeet Singh said in his brief judgment.
