25/8/2011 - Settlement Reached - Case Ends

This morning, parties re-visited the question of settlement, and finally a settlement was reached, and the court recorded the settlement.

In short, parties shall withdraw the action both in the High Court and the Court of Appeal, Charles Hector to pay RM1 as damages, RM1 as cost and also cause to publish in the The Star and Nanyang Siang Pau, half-page advertisements within 21 days, a statement agreed upon, which is also part of the entered consent judgment. (We shall post the exact wordings of this statement, if and when we get it, at a later date)

* The cost of half page adverts in a newspaper, with national circulation, is very high  - estimated about RM22,000. For Star, it will be about RM12,000 and for Chinese Daily, it is about RM10,000. Help is needed to raise this money, and we hope that you could send the monies urgently to the Defence Fund set up by ALIRAN (details at the top of this Blog page)
