Activists retract claims against Penang exco in defamation dispute
The dispute concerned a video shared by the activists that linked Penang executive councillor Zairil Khir Johari's family to the appointment of the project delivery partner for the Penang South Reclamation project. (X pic) GEORGE TOWN : Penang executive councillor Zairil Khir Johari has withdrawn his defamation suit against activists Ravinder Singh and Khoo Salma Nasution after all parties reached a settlement. The dispute concerned a video shared by the activists that linked Zairil's family to the appointment of the project delivery partner for the Penang South Reclamation (PSR) project. Under the settlement, recorded before sessions court judge Sharmila Abdul Samad via e-review, Zairil, the state infrastructure committee chairman, agreed to drop the suit without costs and waived the right to refile it. In return, Ravinder and Khoo removed the video from their social media platforms and agreed not to repost it. The settlement included a joint statement from the activists, who expressed regret for any embarrassment or harm caused to Zairil or his family. They acknowledged that the allegations in the video were unfounded. 'All parties believe that resolving the matter is in the best interest of everyone involved,' the statement read. The video was part of a protest campaign against the PSR, a land reclamation project off the southern coast of Penang island, now known as Penang South Islands. Zairil was represented by Zharif Nizamuddin. Ravinder was represented by Shamsher Singh Thind and Khoo by Theiva Lingam.

KOTA KINABALU (June 5): Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) may contest more than 13 seats in the upcoming state elections, said PKR Sabah chairman Datuk Ts Mustapha Sakmud. Mustapha clarified that the figure recently mentioned by PKR deputy president Nurul Izzah Anwar is not final and suggested that the party may field more candidates. He also revealed that the proposed lineup would include youth and women candidates. The Sepanggar Member of Parliament was speaking to reporters at the 'Tautan Kasih Madani' programme for the underprivileged community in Darau on Thursday. Angkatan Muda Keadilan (AMK) chief Kamil Munim stated that Sabah's PKR chapter will lead the discussions on seat allocations and candidate selection. Matters beyond their jurisdiction will be referred to the party's top leadership. Kamil expressed confidence that young candidates will be featured prominently in the state polls, pending approval from the party's Sabah chairman and election director. 'Whatever happens, we must not focus solely on candidates but also strengthen our party machinery to ensure success and make history in Sabah,' he said during the event. As part of the 'Tautan Kasih Madani' programme, Kamil who is also the Political Secretary to the Finance Minister, presented cash aid under the Prime Minister's special allocation to around 500 recipients from the underprivileged community in Darau. Also present was Inanam assemblyman and PKR Sabah elections director Datuk Peto Galim.
