PETALING JAYA: Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin will appeal the High Court's decision ordering him to pay RM1.35mil in damages for defaming DAP chairman Lim Guan Eng.

"I have instructed my lawyers to appeal against the decision as I believe that my statements were not defamatory and that I have a good defence to the claim and that the amount that was awarded by the court was excessive.
