A three-member Court of Appeal panel has today recorded the withdrawal of the appeal of National Feedlot Corporation Sdn Bhd and its chairperson Mohd Salleh Ismail with regards to its defamation suit against news portal Malaysiakini.
This was disclosed by NFC senior lawyer Muhammad Shafee Abdullah to the bench led by Justice Umi Kalthum Abd Majid.
Salleh and NFC had sued PKR vice-president Rafizi Ramli and Malaysiakini, over Rafizi's statement on March 7, 2012, alleging that public funds meant for NFC’s project in Gemas had been used as leverage to purchase eight properties at KL Eco World.
In October 2016, the High Court in Kuala Lumpur had found Rafizi guilty of defaming NFC and Salleh, but dismissed the case against Malaysiakini, with the judge ruling that the news portal was covered by the defence of reportage.
