Court of Appeal held the impugned internal email was not defamatory in the pleaded malicious senses; alternatively the defendants proved the substance/truth or substantial truth of the relevant imputations and, in any event, publication was protected by qualified privilege because the sender had a legitimate duty and the recipients a reciprocal interest to receive the communication; High Court judgment awarding RM300,000 was set aside and plaintiff's claim dismissed; plaintiffs' appeal on quantum dismissed.
