KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court here has dismissed a defamation suit filed by Pasir Salak MP Datuk Seri Tajuddin Abdul Rahman against Shah Alam MP Khalid Abd Samad, The New Straits Time Press (M) Berhad (NSTP) and KiniTV Sdn Bhd, in relation to defamatory statements at a press conference at the Parliament lobby, six years ago.
Judicial Commissioner Datuk Seri Latifah Mohd Tahar made the ruling here on Tuesday (Feb 22) after finding that the statements made by Khalid as the first defendant were not defamatory and were made based on justification, reasonable comments and conditional protection.
