PUTRAJAYA: The Court of Appeal has upheld the High Court’s ruling that Bersatu president Muhyiddin Yassin defamed former finance minister Lim Guan Eng in relation to Yayasan Al-Bukhary’s tax-exempt status.

Azhahari, who sat with Justices Ahmad Kamal Shahid and Latifah Tahar, also set aside awards of RM150,000 each in aggravated and exemplary damages.
On Nov 8, 2024, the High Court awarded a total of RM1.35 million in damages to Lim, the DAP adviser.
