Malaysia's troubled ex-PM ordered to pay $300,000 to politician over remarks

8/11/2024 16:30
        A Malaysian court on Friday ordered former Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin to pay more than $300,000 to another politician in a defamation case, adding to the opposition leader's legal troubles.
        
        Muhyiddin, who was premier for 17 months between 2020 and 2021, is also charged with sedition for allegedly insulting a former king and is accused of corruption and money laundering in separate cases. He denies wrongdoing.
        
        The Kuala Lumpur High Court ordered Muhyiddin to pay 1.35 million ringgit in damages for defamatory remarks against former Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng in a series of Facebook posts in March 2023, news agency Bernama reported.
        
        The court also ordered Muhyiddin to retract the statements and issued an injunction preventing him from repeating the claims.
        
        In a statement posted on his Facebook page, Muhyiddin said he would appeal and would remove the postings from his social media accounts in compliance with the court order.
