Lim Guan had sued Perkasa, its president Ibrahim Ali, Ruslan, as well as newspaper companies The New Straits Times Press and Utusan Melayu in 2012.

Lim’s lawyer Americk Sidhu told a three member Federal Court bench chaired by Nallini Pathmanathan that he was informed Ruslan passed away last week. In 2012, Lim, then the Penang chief minister, sued Perkasa, its president Ibrahim Ali, Ruslan, as well as newspaper companies The New Straits Times Press and Utusan Melayu.Lim is relying on a Sept 26, 2018 ruling by the apex court that a government can sue a citizen for defamation, refusing to accept the common law Derbyshire principle that public authorities cannot bring an action against a person for lowering their reputation.

On Dec 21, 2016, the Court of Appeal allowed the appeals by Perkasa and the publishers to overturn a decision by the High Court which ordered them to pay damages to Lim for defaming him.
