（布城9日讯）上诉庭裁决，法庭无权强迫诽谤诉讼中的答辩人作出道歉。
上诉庭法官拿督王志权指出，道歉是一种悔意的表达，必须是自愿的，不能通过司法命令来强制。
他说，无论是在普通法或1957年诽谤法令下，都没有任何补救措施允许法庭强迫答辩人发表道歉声明。
王志权在审理Kalysta私人有限公司创办人陈星豪和赖佩琪（皆译音）的上诉申请时，做出上述裁决。他们此前不服高庭裁定他们诽谤该公司前总代理黄梓萱的判决。
这起纠纷源于2021年7月16日至24日期间，两人在微信群组、Zoom会议和Instagram上发表的7项声明，内容指控黄梓萱（译音）违反公司政策、不诚实和行为不检。
高庭先前判处黄梓萱获得60万令吉的损害赔偿，并谕令上诉人发表道歉声明。
王志权在宣读上诉庭三司的判决时，维持高庭关于有关言论构成诽谤的裁定，但撤销了道歉令。
同时，上诉庭也将赔偿金额削减至10万令吉，并裁定原审法官将每一次的言论发布都视为独立的诽谤行为，在法律诠释上存在错误。
