Rights group Lawyers for Liberty has called out the government for "overzealous" enforcement of the Printing Presses and Publications Act 1984 following the latest raid on a local independent bookstore yesterday.

LFL director Zaid Malek said the raid on Toko Buku Rakyat bookstore owned by local author Benz Ali at Wisma Central, Kuala Lumpur, is the second of such a move conducted without a ban being gazetted on items seized.
