: A 22-year-old man who lost the head of his penis in a botched circumcision 13 years ago was only awarded RM123,556 in damages compared to the RM3.1 million he had previously won in his lawsuit against the Malaysian government and four other individuals.

“The court also set aside the severe and exemplary damages amounting to RM1 million awarded by the High Court because the two damages were not stated in the pleadings and there was no basis to allow the two damages. However, the costs of RM100,000 awarded by the High Court is upheld,“ said Judge Ravintharan, who sat with Judges Datuk See Mee Chun and Mohamed Zaini Mazlan at today’s online proceedings .

At today’s proceedings, the five appellants were represented by Senior Federal Counsel Nurhafizza Azizan and Federal Counsel Saravanan Kuppusamy while the respondent was represented by lawyer Mohamad Zainuddin Abu Bakar.
