Case settled: (From left) Chow and Tan.
GEORGE TOWN: Tycoon Tan Sri Tan Kok Ping has to pay RM50,000 in costs to Chow Kon Yeow after he lost a libel claim against the Penang Chief Minister.
High Court judge Justice Quay Chew Soon ruled that Tan had failed to prove his claim of defamation and that Chow’s statements were neither defamatory nor malicious, but constituted fair comment.
