: The High Court here today dismissed a defamation suit filed by former Finance Minister Lim Guan EngLim, who is also former DAP secretary-general, filed the suit in March last year over Tan’s opinion piece published in the Letter to the Editor section of The Star demanding Lim to explain himself over a claim that RM4 million from the federal treasury given to a Chinese primary school in Johor came with a condition to change its name.
“After a full trial, I dismissed the plaintiff’s claim. The statement is not defamatory. The plaintiff is a politician and a senior leader in DAP, which was participating in the Johor state election when the impugned statement was made. DAP is known to be a political adversary of MCA. The judge said that it is also an agreed fact that the plaintiff, in the run-up to the Johor state election, stated that during his tenure as the Finance Minister, he had allocated RM4 million to the Chinese primary school in Johor.
