KUALA LUMPUR, May 10 — Lim Guan Eng has questioned the timing of Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin’s move to raise the issue of the alleged discontinuation of Yayasan Al-Bukhary’s tax exemption status, as the latter had remained silent when both men were part of Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s Cabinet.which was filed in court on May 5 over a defamation suit filed by the former against the latter in March over the alleged cancellation of the tax exemption status during Lim’s tenure as finance minister.
“The fact that the defendant did not even raise any issue relating to the alleged revocation of tax exemption to Yayasan Al-Bukhary earlier but raising the said issue now when the defendant was facing criminal charges is nothing more than a political stunt. Lim also cited a March 21 parliamentary reply issued by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim where the Dewan Rakyat was informed that the tax exemption status was not revoked as claimed, and thus, untrue.
“Being a former prime minister of Malaysia does not confer the defendant with any right to defame the plaintiff when the defendant ought to have known the words complained of were absolutely false and devoid of semblance of truth,” he said.
