Tony Pua wins appeal against Syabas defamation suit (Updated)


PUTRAJAYA: PJ Utara MP Tony Pua need not pay Syabas RM200,000 in a defamation suit, after the Court of Appeal here allowed his appeal against the High Court order for damages.

The panel of judges lead by Justice Zaharah Ibrahim unanimously decided to set aside the Kuala Lumpur High Court's 2012 ruling that had found Pua's statements in a Chinese daily to be defamatory against Syabas.
