Govt appealing decision to compensate The Edge


KUALA LUMPUR: The government is appealing a High Court’s decision that awarded RM11.2mil to publishing company The Edge Communications Sdn Bhd as compensation for losses it incurred following the three-month suspension of two of its publications three years ago.

The Edge sued the Home Ministry for loss of income after two of its publications were suspended by the Home Ministry for three months in 2015 over its reports on the 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) issue.
