PUTRAJAYA: The Federal Court held that the RM500,000 fine imposed on Mkini Dotcom Sdn Bhd, which operates news portal Malaysiakini, for contempt over readers’ comments was the appropriate sentence to serve public interest.
In the full grounds of the court’s majority decision, Court of Appeal president Tan Sri Rohana Yusuf, who chaired a seven-member panel, said the sentence would deter others from committing such a crime.
“It may deter others from the temptation to commit such a crime where the punishment is negligible, or it may deter that particular criminal from repeating the same crime.
