GEORGE TOWN: Penang executive councillor Zairil Khir Johari has withdrawn his defamation suit against activists Ravinder Singh and Khoo Salma Nasution after all parties reached a settlement.
The dispute concerned a video shared by the activists that linked Zairil’s family to the appointment of the project delivery partner for the Penang South Reclamation (PSR) project.
Under the settlement, recorded before sessions court judge Sharmila Abdul Samad via e-review, Zairil, the state infrastructure committee chairman, agreed to drop the suit without costs and waived the right to refile it.
