    Plaintiff's claim dismissed because plaintiff failed to plead the allegedly defamatory words verbatim and failed to prove the three elements of defamation (no reliable evidence that the statements referred to plaintiff, were published to third parties, or caused dismissal); Defendant proved payments were commissions and established qualified privilege for the complaint; Defendant failed to prove coercion or unlawful intimidation so counterclaim for RM243,600 fails; costs awarded to Defendant.
