Teng Chang Yeow apologises to the DAP secretary-general as part of a consent judgment over a defamation suit regarding three news reports last year.
Lim Guan Eng shakes hands with his lawyer K Simon Murali at the High Court in George Town.
This was part of a consent judgment reached between the parties over a defamation suit brought by Lim against Teng regarding three news reports in the New Straits Times and Berita Harian on Jan 17 and 19 last year. “I hereby unconditionally and unreservedly retract the impugned statements that I made in a press conference convened on Jan 16 and Jan 18 of 2018,” Teng said before justice Rosilah Yop.No order was made as to costs.
Teng, in three articles published in NST and BH on Jan 17 and Jan 19, 2018, implied that Lim had lied about “not paying a single sen” to the contractors when in reality, Teng claimed, payments had been made.
