Three-member Federal Court bench allows leave to appeal application by Kepong MP and Kuala Lumpur DAP secretary Lim Lip Eng. FMTNews LimLipEng OngKaChuan
Then MCA secretary-general Ong Ka Chuan had filed a RM100 million suit against Kepong MP Lim Lip Eng over remarks made against the party at a press conference in 2016.
Azahar, who sat with Mohd Zawawi Salleh and Abdul Rahman Sebli, said there was merit for the court to hear the appeal based on one legal question framed. Ong said Lim’s remarks had seriously injured MCA’s reputation, adding that the Chinese-based party was seeking RM100 million in general and exemplary damages.
“They can only sue and be sued for other civil actions,” he said, adding that the position of political parties was similar to that of a government under the Government Proceedings Act.
