RTM cameraman Mohamad Amirul Amin Mohamed Amer, when he appeared at the George Town High Court on April 16, 2019. — BernamaRTM cameraman Mohamad Amirul Amin Mohamed Amer, who was injured in a shooting incident at the Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu Highway near here, three years ago, was awarded a total of RM114,470 in damages and cost after winning the lawsuit he filed against the security company and its employee involved in the incident.
“In this case, it was the company that hired the first defendant and provided him with the pistol and this is a risk that can be anticipated. I rejected the company’s defence in saying that they did not know because the first defendant was hired two days prior to the incident. They cannot say they did not know, they should be more responsible,” she said.
Besides, Hadhariah said the second defendant was found to have sent the pistol used by the first defendant to a scrub metal company without complying with the guidelines set by the Home Ministry.
