  "account": "The High Court has substantively permitted former Prime Minister Khairy Jamaluddin's request for the identity of the registered owner of the domain focusmalaysia.my, following the airing of an article accusing him of slander. Justice Arziah Apandi issued the order on Tuesday following the filing of Khairy's petition on September 21st. He stated that disclosure is necessary to identify the responsible party for publishing the material and, if warranted, initiate slander litigation. The article, titled \"10 Reasons Why KJ Isn’t PM Material, Malaysians Must Carefully Examine His Past Track Record,\" was published on March 10th and linked to the entity Corruption Watch. Mynic Berhad provided evidence confirming that the domain registration details are no longer publicly accessible and can only be obtained through legal proceedings. The judge also considered Khairy's previous attempts to identify the responsible party through inquiries to Focus Malaysia Sdn Bhd, Inno Mind Works Sdn Bhd, and Yip Chin Hwee, which failed. Mynic, the national registrar for .my domains, was deemed an innocent third party and did not contest most of the petition. The court instructed Mynic to disclose the registration details of the domain owner up to March 10th, if any discrepancies exist, including name, ID number or company registration number, address, email, phone number, and contact information related to administration or technical aspects. Mynic must also provide the registration history, expiration date, registrant's details, and records of any transfers involving the domain owner. Additional communication regarding the domain registration is limited to records from October 10th to 18th, concerning registration, renewal, transfer, or management of the domain. Previous documents supporting the registration of the domain owner must be submitted. However, Mynic is prohibited from disclosing information about third parties unrelated to the registration and any matter beyond the scope of the order. The court granted Mynic a 21-day period, starting September 29th, to comply with the order, subject to any additional time granted. The court rejected Mynic's request for full compensation for any potential losses or claims arising from the disclosure of the information, and instructed each party to bear their own costs. The disclosed information can only be used for the intended legal proceedings. Upon receiving the information, Khairy's attorneys, Abdul Rashid Ismail and Siti Nurani Zahidi, and Mynic's legal representatives, Bahari Yeow, Khoo Chin Wei, and Leong Sen Suan, will initiate legal proceedings against the responsible party.",
