  "account": "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.",
