[superadmin]

KUALA LUMPUR: Facing the prospect of being declared a bankrupt, women, family and community development minister Rina Harun has settled her multimillion-ringgit debts to a Paris-based film and television programme production company.

Lawyer Mark Ho Hing Kheong, who represented Sarl Novovision, said the exact outstanding amount, which he declined to disclose, was paid last week.

“We received a cheque on Wednesday and it was cleared the following day,” he told FMT when contacted.

A statement of claim against Rina was filed on Nov 8, 2018 by the French firm and that the full amount must be paid by July 31, 2019.
