KUALA
LUMPUR: The High Court today struck out a defamation lawsuit by former deputy women, family and community development minister Hannah Yeoh against former Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Musa Hassan on technical reasons.
The lawsuit was over the remarks Musa, as the defendant, made during a speech at a forum held Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM) on Jan 30, 2020.
Lawyer Mohd Khairul Azam Abdul Aziz, representing Musa, when contacted, said that Judge Datuk Rozana Ali Yusoff struck out the lawsuit after finding the plaintiff (Yeoh) had failed to comply with the court’s orders regarding the filing of certain pre-trial documents.
