Perak PAS chief Razman Zakaria claimed in a Facebook post in 2017 that Lim Guan Eng supported a so-called ban on hotel workers wearing headscarves.
The Court of Appeal says there is no appealable error to warrant its intervention in Lim Guan Eng’s suit against Razman Zakaria.
“In our view, the learned judicial commissioner , having considered all the evidence, was fully entitled to reach his evaluative judgment,” he said in dismissing Razman’s appeal today.Nantha, who sat with Justices Nazlan Ghazali and Choo Kah Sing, said Lim had proven that the post was published and that Razman’s Facebook publication was defamatory.
The impugned Facebook posting was one which, even upon a quick scroll by readers, suggested that Lim was against headscarves, which in the Malaysian context is highly defamatory, he said. Amarjeet also ordered Razman to make a public apology on his Facebook page within 14 days and for Lim’s Facebook page to be tagged in the apology post.Lim had testified that the post by Razman was slanderous and had affected his reputation as well as his role as the then Penang chief minister.
