Bekas MP Hulu Selangor gagal rayuan saman fitnah hantaran FB mengenai sekolah
Mahkamah Rayuan memutuskan hantaran Facebook itu memberi gambaran berlaku ketidakjujuran, tetapi tidak menuduh June Leow berbuat demikian.
On June 21, 2021, former Hulu Selangor MP June Leow filed a defamation lawsuit against Ravi M, a voter, for allegedly criticizing him on Facebook regarding the construction of the SRKT Ascort school in Hulu Bernam. The case was brought to the High Court, but the Rayuan Court of Appeal ruled on June 24 that Leow's version of events did not constitute defamation, as it described a lack of action without implying dishonesty.
Judge Azizul Azmi Adnan, who chaired the three-judge panel, explained that Leow was only accused of inaction and could only be interpreted as negligent. The court also ordered Leow to pay Ravi RM50,000 in legal costs. According to the defamation suit, Ravi claimed that Leow, as the MP at the time, was unresponsive to the issue. The plaintiff, Ravi, was represented by Shamsher Singh Thind, Gunamalar Joorindanjn, and Ching Jee Joe, while Leow was represented by T Anandan, A Arvinada Moorthy, and Nur Fatin Farzana Redzuan.
