Описание

The High Court hearing the defamation suit filed by Penang Umno liaison chairman Zainal Abidin Osman against Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng was told today that Lim's action in issuing false statement was meant to tarnish Umno's image. Zainal Abidin, 52, said that the articles which were published in Keadilan Daily on July 3 last year and in Suara Keadilan, on July 5 last year, were also meant to show that Umno was a party with no ethic and principle for supporting an action which could lead to violence.
