The Kuala Lumpur High Court has dismissed Bloomberg (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd’s application to strike out a billion-ringgit libel suit filed by Bestinet Sdn Bhd and its founder, Aminul Islam Abdul Nor.
The Edge reported that judge Roslan Mat Nor, in his decision yesterday, said the subject of the suit, Bloomberg’s report titled “Everyone gets a cut, and migrant workers pay a price”, needs further evaluation at the trial stage.
The matter cannot be decided summarily based on affidavits, Roslan said, and ordered RM5,000 costs to be paid to the plaintiffs.
Apart from Bloomberg, other defendants are Malaysiakini, The Edge Communications Sdn Bhd (publisher of The Edge), MNow Media Sdn Bhd (publisher of MalaysiaNow), and Norhafizan Muhamad and Nur Azwan Nusi (owners of a partnership that operates Harapan Daily).
Former MACC chief commissioner Latheefa Koya, former economy minister Rafizi Ramli and content creator Iswardy Morni, who runs “YB Youtube Channel”, were also named as defendants.
