PUTRAJAYA: The Federal Court Thursday upheld the decisions of the lower courts which had thrown out a RM200mil defamation suit brought by the Federal Land Development Authority (Felda) and its investment company against former deputy land and cooperatives minister Datuk Dr Tan Kee Kwong.
Chief Justice Tun Arifin Zakaria, leading a five-member panel unanimously dismissed Felda and Felda Global Ventures Holdings Sdn Bhd's appeal, which was filed in a bid to set aside the decisions of the High Court and Court of Appeal, which had respectively thrown out its civil action against Dr Tan.
