00:00The Court of Appeal has ruled in favor of Federal Territories Minister Hannah Yeo in her defamation case against ex-IGP Musa Hassan.
00:09In delivering the court's unanimous judgment, Justice Azima Omar said that the High Court had erred when dismissing Yeo's suit in 2024.
00:17The appellate court also ordered Musa to pay Yeo 250,000 ringgit in damages.
00:23Yeo filed a suit in 2020 after Musa alleged that she was seeking to turn Malaysia into a Christian nation.
00:30Musa had told a forum at University Technology Mara on January 30, 2020 that an unnamed group was seeking to destroy Islam in the country and claimed there were links between the group and DAP.
00:43He also claimed Yeo had written a book to make this country a Christian country.
00:48Yeo previously published an autobiography titled Becoming Hannah, a personal journey in which she describes her journey as an ordinary Malaysian woman whose life was transformed through her Christian faith, which later led her into politics.
