Court awards RM652k to man who lost leg after falling into pothole

The Kota Bharu Sessions Court yesterday awarded damages of RM652,000 to a man whose left leg was amputated after he fell into a large pothole filled with water, in an incident two years ago.

Judge Mohd Zul Zakiqudin Zulkifli delivered the decision after the court found the government’s road maintenance contractor was negligent in the matter.
