00:00Former UITM Vice-Chancellor Ibrahim Abu Shah told the Kuala Lumpur High Court today

00:06that he deliberately omitted words from an extract of Hannah Yeo's biography,

00:10which he reproduced in his witness statement.

00:13The youth and sports minister had in her book, Becoming Hannah, A Personal Journey,

00:18written God wants to reclaim politics and public service in Malaysia for righteousness' sake.

00:25Under cross-examination by Yeo's lawyer Sangit Kordio,

00:28Ibrahim admitted to omitting the words for righteousness' sake.

00:33He also acknowledged that the omitted phrase would give the sentence context

00:37and show the author's intention.

00:40Ibrahim, testifying as a witness for defendant Kamarul Zaman Yusof,

00:44also agreed that Yeo had never challenged the status of Islam

00:48as the religion of the federation or any state.

00:51Yeo is suing Kamarul, a University Utara Malaysia lecturer,

00:55for defamation over two Facebook posts,

00:58in which he alleged that she was seeking to proselytize Christianity through her politics.
