KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court has ordered Sungai Besar Umno division chief Jamal Yunos to pay Seputeh MP Teresa Kok RM300,000 in general, aggravated, and exemplary damages after failing to prove his defence in Kok’s defamation suit against him.
Kok filed the suit against Jamal in 2017 after he accused her of misappropriating Yayasan Warisan Anak Selangor (Yawas) funds under the state government’s Skim Mesra Usia Emas initiative.
Judge Mohd Arief Emran Arifin also ordered Jamal, who was absent in court today, to pay RM50,000 in costs to Kok.
