PUTRAJAYA (Bernama): The Federal Court has postponed the hearing of an appeal by Utusan Melayu (M) Bhd and its former journalist in a defamation suit filed against them by veteran lawyer Manjeet Singh Dhillon, as a counsel representing one of the appellants is under Covid-19 self-imposed quarantine.
Lawyer Datuk Wong Rhen Yen, representing the second appellant Utusan Melayu, sought an adjournment of the appeal hearing as the counsel for the first appellant, former journalist Raja Syahrir Abu Bakar, is under self-imposed quarantine for 14 days.
