The Court of Appeal in Putrajaya today ordered Malaysiakini to pay a sum of RM200,000 in damages to the Raub Australian Gold Mine (RAGM) after it ruled that the High Court in Kuala Lumpur had erred in dismissing the latter's claim.
The three-member panel, headed by Justice Abang Iskandar Abang Hashim, also allowed an injunction on the publication of the three articles and two videos found to be defamatory.
The court further ordered Malaysiakini to pay RAGM, represented by Cecil Abraham, a total of RM150,000 in legal costs despite the portal’s lawyers, James Khong and Syahredzan Johan, arguing that a sum of RM80,000 would be sufficient.
Malaysiakini editor-in-chief Steven Gan said the court's ruling was a setback not just to journalists from the portal but to all journalists in the country.
