Papagomo apologises to IGP over defamatory remarks


KUALA LUMPUR: Controversial blogger Wan Muhammad Azri Wan Deris, also known as Papagomo, has issued an unreserved apology to Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Tan Sri Razarudin Husain over his defamatory and demeaning remarks made earlier this year. The apology pertains to two media postings published in January, despite a court order issued on Dec 31 last year prohibiting him from making such statements.

Judicial Commissioner Gan Techiong, in delivering the court's decision, said the apology, which was read aloud in court, must also be published on YouTube, TikTok, X, and Telegram for at least seven days. He also ordered the blogger to pay RM5,000 in costs.
