KUALA LUMPUR: Former finance minister Lim Guan Eng will testify in the hearing of the assessment of damages in his defamation suit against blogger Raja Petra Raja Kamarudin over allegations of corruption in the RM6.3 billion Penang undersea tunnel project.
“The court has set Aug 21 for hearing and we told the court that so far, only one plaintiff’s witness will testify and that is Lim himself,” he said after case management before judge Rohani Ismail in chambers today. Lim filed the suit on Sept 6 last year over a series of articles in both English and Malay, carried on Raja Petra’s online news portal Malaysia Today between Feb 24 and March 15, 2019.
Lim sought exemplary damages on grounds that Raja Petra had profited from the huge volume of readership for the articles.
