The Court of Appeal has affirmed a previous ruling against Muhyiddin Yassin, rejecting his appeal. However, the court reduced the amount of damages he is required to pay. The original claim included compensatory, aggravated, and exemplary damages. The Court of Appeal ordered the payment of RM450,000 in general damages but dismissed the claims for aggravated and exemplary damages. This decision partially alters the financial consequences of the case for Muhyiddin. The ruling indicates the court acknowledged some wrongdoing but lessened the severity of the financial penalty. Further legal action is possible, but the core judgment stands.
