.dapmalaysia's teresakok wins defamation suit against Umno man Jamal Yunos
Kuala Lumpur: . However, Jamal was absent from court when the verdict was read today. Judicial commissioner Datuk Mohd Arief Emran Arifin’s ruling was based on the grounds that Jamal had failed to prove his defence against Kok’s accusations.“I find that the plaintiff has proven her claim against the defendant for malicious falsehood,” Mohd Arief said. The court also issued an injunction on Jamal to prevent him from repeating his statements in any media or any format.
However, her lawyer Datuk Sankara Nair told reporters that Jamal’s remarks had already damaged Kok’s reputation. “It is a clear indication that Kok is not a corrupt politician,” he added. Kok was also represented by Jaden Phoon while Jamal was not represented by any lawyer after previously discharging his appointed legal representative.
