Earlier, Jamal had been ordered to pay RM300,000 in damages and RM50,000 in costs to Kok.
The unpaid judgment amount tied to execution
The outstanding amount that triggered the execution process was RM66,061.85. This figure was described as the judgment amount Jamal failed to pay to Teresa Kok in the defamation suit case, leading to seizure and sale actions.
Earlier damages and costs orders against Jamal
Before the execution stage, the High Court ordered Jamal to pay RM300,000 in damages to Kok, along with RM50,000 in costs. These orders were made by Judge Datuk Mohd Arief Emran Arifin on July 26, 2022.
Federal Court outcome on Jamal’s leave to appeal
On July 30, 2024, the Federal Court dismissed Jamal’s application for leave to appeal against the High Court’s decision ordering him to pay RM300,000 in damages. Jamal paid the damages after that Federal Court dismissal.
Interpleader claim dismissal cleared the way for auction
The High Court dismissed Muhammad Amin Daniel’s interpleader claim application with costs of RM8,000. Another individual, Mohd Razali Kamin, withdrew his interpleader claim and was ordered to pay costs of RM2,000, leaving “no longer any obstacle” to execution and auction proceedings.
