The High Court in Kuala Lumpur has upheld a 30-year jail term handed down to a former lecturer in Selangor for the murder of a bank employee and firing of a gun during the robbery.
The case involved a blogger named Papagomo who was sued for defamation by former DAP chairman Lim Guan Eng and his son. Papagomo was ordered to pay RM280,000 in damages after the court found he made defamatory claims about Lim Guan Eng and his son in a Facebook post on March 14, 2020.
The post alleged that Clint Lim had been detained for attempting to smuggle RM2 million into Singapore and that Guan Eng had traveled to Singapore to 'rescue' his son on February 29, 2020
