The High Court here today advised that the defamation suit filed by former Federal Territories Minister Khalid Abdul Samad against online news portal, Free Malaysia Today and its former editor-in-chief, be settled amicably.
Lawyer Mohamed Ashmeer Mohamed Ashrof, representing Khalid, told reporters that the court had urged both parties to have a discussion in finding a solution to the case. On June 23, the Amanah strategic communications director who is the plaintiff, filed the suit naming Abdar Rahman Koya and FMT Media Sdn Bhd as the first and second defendants.
Khalid claimed that the defendants had translated his Twitter post in English using their own words, without obtaining any confirmation from the plaintiff and the libellous article could be accessed via the news portal.
