The Court of Appeal allowed Sungai Besar Umno division chief Jamal Md Yunos not to pay RM300,000 in damages to Seputeh MP Teresa Kok pending his appeal against her defamation suit.
The three-person bench chaired by Yaacob Md Sam unanimously granted a conditional stay against a High Court ruling that Jamal pays the compensation as well as RM50,000 in costs to the DAP lawmaker.
On July 26 last year, the High Court in Kuala Lumpur ordered the BN politician to pay the judgment sum and costs to Kok for his 2017 speech, in which he accused the Harapan lawmaker of abusing Yayasan Warisan Anak Selangor (Yawas) funds.
