PUTRAJAYA: Former federal territories minister Khalid Abdul Samad (pic) has failed in his bid for leave to proceed with his appeal at the Federal Court against a Court of Appeal decision setting aside RM80,000 in damages awarded to him for defamation.
A Federal Court three-member panel comprising Justices Tan Sri Rohana Yusuf, Datuk Harmindar Singh Dhaliwal and Datuk Mohamad Zabidin Mohd Diah dismissed Khalid's appeal in online proceedings on Monday (Oct 17) and ordered him to pay RM30,000 in costs.
