PUTRAJAYA : PKR vice-president Mohd Rafizi Ramli has won his appeal to set aside a High Court order that he pay RM200,000 in damages to National Feedlot Corporation Sdn Bhd executive chairman Datuk Seri Dr Mohamad Salleh Ismail and his company for defamation.
“We are unanimous that the appeal has merits. The appeal is allowed with costs,” said Justice Hamid Sultan. Justice Hamid Sultan instructed Mohamad Salleh to refund the RM300,000 within 30 days, failing which a 5% per annum interest would be imposed until the payment is settled. In 2013, Mohamad Salleh and NFCorp sued Rafizi claiming that he had made a defamatory statement on March 7, 2012 at a media conference at the PKR office on the purchase of KL Eco City properties that was published by Malaysiakini on the same day.
