KUALA LUMPUR, March 22 — DAP chairman Lim Guan Eng today said that he is lodging a police report against former prime minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin to prevent the latter’s claims about Yayasan Albukhary from being used as campaign fodder during state elections that are expected later this year.
He said not to follow the example of former United States president Donald Trump as someone who had campaigned “based on lies”. Section 499 is the offence of criminal defamation covering situations such as when words are published with the intention to harm or with the knowledge or with reason to believe that the accusation made will harm the reputation of any person, and is punishable under Section 500 with a maximum two-year jail term or fine or both.
Meanwhile, Section 505 criminalises any statement likely to incite any class or community of persons to commit any offence against another class or community. A guilty charge will be punished with imprisonment of up to two years, or a fine, or both.
