PUTRAJAYA: The Federal Court here has ruled that Malaysiakini is in contempt of court over readers' comments that criticise the judiciary on an article it posted last year.

In a 6-1 majority decision, the court held that the online portal had failed to cast reasonable doubt on the allegation against it.
