KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 24 — Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Razarudin Husain has donated RM10,000 to the Police Heritage Trust Fund (TAWP) today.
The amount is from the full legal costs awarded by the court against blogger Wan Muhammad Azri Wan Deris, or 'Papagomo', to pay to Razarudin after allowing an inter-parte injunction application by Razarudin as the plaintiff in the defamation suit he filed against Azri, the defendant.
The money was handed over to TAWP's managing director Datuk Abdul Aziz Abdul Majid at his office.
Razarudin hopes the donation will benefit the children of police personnel who excel academically, as wellas those facing health and financial burdens.
“It is a fund obtained from a court order against the defendant Papagomo, who was ordered to pay legal costs in court proceedings after the court issued an injunction in the defamation suit on January 10.
“I hope this contribution can ease the burden borne by the children of police officers,” he said when contacted today.
On January 10, the High Court allowed an inter-parte injunction application by Razarudin in the RM3 million suit he filed against Azri for alleged defamation and ordered the defendant to pay RM10,000 in cost to the plaintiff.
