Mujahid wins bid to quash ex-UUM professor’s RM5mil suit

[superadmin]

KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court here today allowed Parit Buntar MP Mujahid Yusof Rawa’s application to strike out a RM5 million defamation suit brought against him by former Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM) professor Kamarul Zaman Yusoff.

Mujahid filed the application on Oct 14 last year after Kamarul filed the suit on July 28.

The suit was based on an article by Mujahid which was subsequently published by two news portals in 2017.

Mujahid’s lawyer Noorazmir Zakaria said Judge Rozana Ali Yusoff allowed the application and ordered costs of RM5,000 to be paid to his client.
