Malaysiakini would like to thank the thousands of supporters and readers who have helped raise the RM350,000 it urgently needed for its legal defence fund.
Malaysiakini CEO Premesh Chandran said it was humbling that so many people from all walks of life responded to the appeal.
"It was amazing that the sum was raised in just 12 days. It showed that the public supported our efforts to report community issues.
"On behalf of Malaysiakini's staff, I would like to thank all contributors and everyone who supported us in spirit," he said.
Malaysiakini was forced to appeal to the public for help after the Court of Appeal ruled in favour of Raub Australian Gold Mining Sdn Bhd (RAGM) in its defamation suit against the news organisation.
The court ordered Malaysiakini to pay RM200,000 in damages and a whopping RM150,000 in legal cost.
RAGM had sued Malaysiakini over three articles and two video clips on health concerns expressed by residents regarding the mining activities – where cyanide-related chemicals were used to extract gold – near their village at Bukit Koman in Raub, Pahang.
