KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 30 — PAS lawmaker Khalid Samad today won a judgment against Umno-owned Utusan Melayu over a defamatory article from two years ago.

Khalid had sued the publishers of Utusan Malaysia last year over the article "Zulkifli bidas Pak Janggut (Zulkifli blasts Bearded Man)" published in September 2009, which he claimed was libellous in nature.

In making his ruling today, High Court justice Dr Prasad Sandosham Abraham agreed with the Shah Alam MP's assertions, and added that the newspaper had published the article without first verifying the veracity of its contents.

Abraham later set October 11 for the determination of damages to be awarded to Khalid.
