KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 4 (Bernama): The Sessions Court here on Friday (Aug 4) dismissed the suit brought by Datuk Seri Dr Edmund Santhara Kumar (pic) against Batu MP P. Prabakaran for allegedly defaming the former Federal territories deputy minister's visit to New Zealand during the Covid-19 pandemic, three years ago.
Judge Zulqarnain Hassan made the decision after finding that the defendant's statement (Prabakaran) was a reasonable comment, as the latter, as a representative of the people, had a responsibility to voice out public issues.
