PUTRAJAYA (Bernama): The Federal Court rejected Synergy Promenade Sdn Bhd (SPSB)’s application for leave to appeal over its RM100mil defamation suit against former deputy minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Razali Ibrahim relating to his statement on the company’s involvement in the Kuala Lumpur Vertical City Project (KLVC) at Jalan Semarak.

SPSB, as the applicant, had sought leave in its bid to reinstate the suit which was struck out by the High Court and the decision subsequently upheld by the Court of Appeal.

"We are not satisfied that the applicant has met the requirement under Section 96 of the Courts of Judicature Act 1964 . We, therefore dismiss the applicant's application,” said Justice Tengku Maimun at a virtual proceeding on Wednesday . On March 13, 2019, the Kuala Lumpur High Court allowed Razali's application to strike out the suit, ruling that the statement by Razali was not defamatory.

Razali filed the application to strike out the suit in October 2018 on grounds that there was no reasonable cause of action for the property developer to sue him.
