High Court decision ordering Perak PAS commissioner to pay RM250,000 in damages to Guan Eng upheld

: The Court of Appeal today upheld the decision of the High Court ordering Perak PAS commissioner Razman Zakaria

Justice Nantha Balan, who delivered the court’s unanimous decision, said the Facebook posting was one which, even upon a quick scroll or fleeting glance by the reader, defamed Lim by suggesting, imputing or stating that he was ‘anti-tudung’, which in the Malaysian context is highly defamatory of Lim.

Justice Nantha Balan said the court also found no merits with regard to Razman’s counsel Norazli Nordin’s contention that the publication of the post was not proven as there was no independent proof that any third party had access to the Facebook account. In his statement of claim, Lim said the words used in Razman’s posting were from an unauthentic source and aimed at tarnishing his name and reputation and portraying him as a leader who had no respect for Islam and Malay culture.
