  "account": "The Supreme Court has ruled that Petaling Jaya City Hall (MBPJ) is responsible for losses resulting from its intervention in the management of advertisement billboards along the Federal Highway. In a judgment on Monday, Justice Azizan Arshad found that the company could claim damages, if any, that can be legally linked to the relevant provisions of the 2012 Mahkamah Rules. However, the court rejected claims for personal compensation against the deputy mayor of Petaling Jaya, who was named as the second respondent under Section 125 of the Local Government Act 1976. The court also ordered MBPJ and the deputy mayor to pay a fine of RM5,000 to Danwan. The case is set for further management on November 11. The dispute involves the advertising structure controlled by Danwan on KM32.9 of the Federal Highway. In August of last year, MBPJ issued a notice directing the lowering of the advertisement billboard in accordance with the Small Advertisement Act (MBPJ) 2007. Danwan argued that the relevant structure was located on the federal highway and operated under a permit issued by the Ministry of Works under Section 85A of the Road Transport Act 1987. The company claimed that the boundary of the billboard structure's placement along the Federal Highway falls under the jurisdiction of the federal government, not the local authority. Danwan's chairman, Stanley Ho, said the review of the case aimed to clarify the respective powers of the federal and local governments over advertising structures on federal highway highway banners. He added that the company remains committed to working with relevant authorities to ensure its advertising structure complies with all established requirements.",
