Influencer Wan Muhammad Azri, also known as Papagomo, has lost his bid to halt the enforcement of a RM280,000 defamation judgment awarded to former Penang chief minister Lim Guan Eng and his son, Clint Lim Way Chau. High Court judge Roslan Mat Nor ruled against Papagomo's request for a stay of execution following consideration of documents submitted by both sides.
The court dismissed the influencer's claim, finding no special circumstances to warrant delaying the payment. The defamation suit was initiated on April 19, 2020, over allegations made by Papagomo on Facebook that Clint had been detained at Singapore's Changi Airport on February 29, 2020, for carrying RM2 million in undeclared cash.
Lim and Clint subsequently filed a defamation suit against Papagomo, alleging the false claims attributed to Clint. The court rejected the influencer's arguments, stating that there was insufficient evidence to support the claims in his affidavit.
