KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court has ordered Dr Kamarul Zaman Yusoff to pay RM400,000 in damages to Segambut MP Hannah Yeoh, who won a defamation suit against the Universiti Utara Malaysia lecturer in May.
The ruling follows Judicial Commissioner Avinder Singh Gill's decision to dismiss Kamarul Zaman's application to stay the damages payment, finding that no special circumstances warranted a suspension.
