: The High Court here today has dismissed a defamation suit filed by former Attorney-General Tan Sri Mohamed Apandi Ali’s special officer, Mabel Sheela Mutthiah against Sarawak Report editor Clare Rewcastle-Brown.
“In my opinion, the requirement for complete pleadings in Bahasa Melayu is tritely attributed to the language’s supremacy as a national language. In this regard, the relevant provisions are enshrined in Article 152 of the Federal Constitution as well as Section 8 of the National Language Act 1963/67 and Order 92 Rule 1 of the Rules of Court 2012,” he said.
Raja Ahmad Mohzanuddin further said that the court found that the first impugned defamatory article is clearly defamatory to the plaintiff if the defendant did not raise such a technical objection at the outset.
