A recent court ruling in Kuala Lumpur has resulted in a significant payout of nearly RM250,000 to a jogger who fractured his spine after trying to fend off two German Shepherds owned by his neighbour. The incident occurred in February 2021 at Taman Anjung Tiara in Segambut, with the victim, Datuk Mohd Kamal Abdullah, sustaining severe injuries that required medical treatment and surgery.
The owner of the dogs, Datuk Seri Ong Thiam Boon, was ordered to pay RM178,457.60 in special damages and RM70,000 in general damages, along with interest and costs. The court dismissed Ong's counterclaim and ordered him to pay additional costs to Mohd Kamal.
