The RM1 million defamation suit by Seputeh MP Teresa Kok against Sungai Besar Umno division chief Jamal Md Yunos is set for a decision on July 26, after a hearing in which the Umno man decided to represent himself.
The suit is over the allegation of abuse of Yayasan Warisan Anak Selangor (Yawas) funds, in which Jamal accused Kok and several Pakatan Harapan representatives of misappropriating funds from Skim Mesra Usia Emas.
"To my surprise and that of my lawyers, Jamal discharged his lawyer yesterday afternoon and informed the court that he wished to represent himself, so today he came to court without a lawyer," Kok explained in a Facebook post.
