KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court has been told that Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin's statements regarding the tax exemption issue involving Yayasan Albukhary defamed Lim Guan Eng by portraying him as someone who had abused his power and position.
Lawyer Guok Ngek Seong, who represented Lim, contended that any reasonable reader would infer from Muhyiddin's three statements that Lim was anti-Malay and anti-Muslim by targeting an institution like Yayasan Albukhary, which supports the Malay and Muslim community.
