亚航发文告，指去年9月控告部落客沙拉胡丁哈欣在其网站 anotherbrickinwall.blogspot.com 诽谤亚航，获吉隆坡高庭裁决胜诉，沙拉胡丁哈欣当时被谕令作出500万令吉加重及惩罚性赔偿。
“由于沙拉胡丁哈欣无法缴付相关赔偿，亚航决定提出申请，要求法庭判处前者破产。”
KUALA LUMPUR, March 5 — AirAsia said today it has started legal proceedings to declare a blogger bankrupt after the latter failed to pay RM5 million over defamatory remarks against the airline.
“AirAsia who obtained a judgment and an injunction in a defamation suit against blogger Salahuddin bin Hisham (anotherbrickinwall.blogspot.com) has proceeded to file bankruptcy proceedings against Salahuddin for failing to pay the RM5 million aggravated and exemplary damages awarded by the Kuala Lumpur High Court in September 2013,” the low-cost carrier said in a brief statement today.
In the September 24, 2013 judgment sighted by Malay Mail Online, the Kuala Lumpur High Court granted an injunction to block Salahuddin from further publishing or repeating false and defamatory statements relating to the airline’s safety record, as well as a claim that one of its planes had crashed upon landing.
The defamatory statements were published on the blog “Another Brick in the Wall” on April 9, 2013 in an article titled “AirAsia crash?”.
Salahuddin was also ordered to remove the article within a day of the court’s ruling.
The court also ordered Salahuddin to publish a statement to declare the article as untrue, as well as an unconditional apology according to AirAsia Berhad’s terms within three days from the court order.
Besides being ordered to pay RM5 million in damages to AirAsia Berhad, the blogger was also ordered to publish an unconditional apology in local papers The Star and New Straits Times in a weeks’ time from the court the order.
According to the judgement by Justice Datuk Nor Bee Ariffin, the blogger did not enter an appearance for the case.
It is unclear if Salahuddin has complied with all the points in the judgement, but the blog post was still accessible at the time of writing.
