Lim wins defamation suit against RPK over tunnel allegations


KUALA LUMPUR: Former Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng has won a defamation suit against blogger Raja Petra Kamarudin over his articles on allegations of corruption in an undersea tunnel project by the state government.

Lim’s lawyer Kok Yuen Lin told the press that High Court judge Justice Rohani Ismail had granted the DAP secretary-general a judgment in default against Raja Petra because the blogger, also known as RPK, did not contest the suit.
