PETALING JAYA: Astro Malaysia Holdings Bhd’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, Astro Shaw Sdn Bhd (ASSB) and Measat Broadcast Network Systems Sdn Bhd, have been served with additional assessment notices by the Inland Revenue Board (IRB) totalling RM734.88mil.
KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court had ordered political analyst Abdul Razak Baginda and a few others to pay RM5mil in damages to the family of slain Mongolian model Altantuya Shaariibuu because he had chosen not to testify under oath.
"There is a clear oblique motive on the part of the third defendant in electing to submit that there is no case to answer and thereby not testifying under oath or calling witnesses on his behalf. On Dec 16, 2022, Justice Vazeer, now a Federal Court judge, allowed Altantuya's family's suit and ordered the defendants to jointly pay the plaintiffs RM5mil in general, aggravated, and exemplary damages.Apart from Abdul Razak, the family named Chief Insp Azilah Hadri, Kpl Sirul Azhar Umar and the government as the first, second and fourth defendants respectively.
"If not for the third defendant, the first and second defendants would not have taken the deceased in their car from the third defendant’s residence and ultimately kill her. The circumstantial evidence of conspiracy is overwhelming. "Thus, I find that the plaintiffs have successfully established their case against the first, second, and third defendants," he added.In granting the compensation, the court said the RM5mil sum was"fair and adequate" to be awarded globally as vindicatory damages.
