RPK ordered to pay RM300,000 to lawyer


KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court has ordered Malaysia Today editor Raja Petra Kamarudin to pay RM300,000 to lawyer Datuk Seri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah in damages for defaming him in three articles five years ago.

Muhammad Shafee succeeded in getting a judgment against Raja Petra in 2011 over three defamatory articles which were posted on the Malaysia Today website without having to go for a full trial.
