Malaysiakini has to pay RM350,000


PUTRAJAYA: News portal Malaysiakini has been ordered by the Court of Appeal here to pay RM350,000 in damages and legal costs to the Raub Australian Gold Mine (RAGM) over articles and videos it published which were found to be defamatory.

A three-man panel, led by Justice Abang Iskandar Abang Hashim, made the order after ruling that a Kuala Lumpur High Court had erred in dismissing the RAGM’s claim.
