Wan Azri gagal gantung bayar RM280,000 kepada Guan Eng, anak

In May, the Federal Court of Kuala Lumpur found that Wan Azri Wan Deris was responsible for libeling Lim Guan Eng and his son on Facebook in a post dated March 14, 2020. The post alleged that Clint Lim was arrested while attempting to smuggle RM2 million to Singapore, and Guan Eng went there to rescue him. Wan Azri was ordered to pay compensation of RM200,000 to Guan Eng and RM80,000 to his son, along with each attorney's fees of RM30,000 and RM10,000.

Defense attorney Simon Murali represented the Lim family, while Norfazilah Jaafar represented Wan Azri. Simon subsequently informed the media that they have not filed any appeal against the compensation amount against Wan Azri. If the compensation is paid now, Wan Azri believes he will succeed in his appeal, and the appeal will be academic.

However, he has warned that he will face bankruptcy proceedings if the plaintiff upholds the judgment. Despite these claims, the court did not allow the hanging of the judgment. The court also ordered Wan Azri to pay RM5,000 in court costs.
