The Kuala Lumpur High Court today ordered former Selangor exco member Hasan Ali to pay Shah Alam MP Khalid Samad RM200,000 in general damages for defamation.

Hasan had at a public function just before the 13th general election accused Khalid who was then a PAS central committee member of encouraging the sale of liquor and the presence of massage parlours, and that the people should not vote for him in the election.
