Malaysia's Thin Line Between Free Speech and Defamation The Kuala Lumpur High Court has ruled against blogger Wan Muhammad Azri Wan Deris, also known as Papagomo, in a defamation suit brought by former Penang chief minister Lim Guan Eng and his son Clint Lim.
The court held Papagomo liable for defaming the Lims over a Facebook post alleging an alleged cash seizure at Singapore's Changi Airport.
The post claimed that Clint Lim was detained at the airport for bringing in RM2 million in cash without proper declaration, but an investigation revealed he was not even present on the date and time stated.
