The High Court dismissed youth and sports minister Hannah Yeoh’s defamation lawsuit against former IGP Musa Hassan, ruling she failed to prove her case. Yeoh had sued Musa for alleging at a 2020 forum that she aimed to turn Malaysia into a Christian nation. The court found Musa’s statements did not specifically target Yeoh, were not widely disseminated, and were not made with malice. Musa based his remarks on academic analysis and spoke on national security as a former IGP. The court awarded Musa RM40,000 in costs, emphasizing public figures must tolerate robust debate. Yeoh plans to appeal the decision.
