Firdaus Wong saman Guan Eng berhubung dakwaan ‘pelampau agama’
Pendakwah itu mendakwa kenyataan bekas ketua menteri Pulau Pinang berkenaan menggambarkannya sebagai individu yang mahu menyekat kebebasan, budaya dan hak masyarakat bukan Islam.
On June 24th, Firdaus Wong filed a slander suit against former Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng, alleging that Lim made defamatory statements about him in a video posted on Facebook. In his suit, Wong accused Lim of making a hate-filled statement that portrayed him as a religious fanatic who would exploit religious issues to undermine the rights and freedoms of non-Muslims.
Wong also claimed that Lim's statement had caused him to be disgraced in the eyes of the non-Muslim community. Wong stated that the defendant's statement was published with malicious intent and with the aim of inciting hatred against the plaintiff. He had sent a demand for an open apology to Lim's lawyer in July, but accused the lawyer of not fulfilling the request.
Wong is seeking general damages, exemplary damages, and a restraining order from the court, with the case scheduled to be heard on October 27th.
