Guan Eng sues NSTP over 'false report' on Umno leader's apology

Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng today insisted that Umno-controlled Malay daily Berita Harian published a "false" report on Aug 20 last year related to his defamation suit against then Penang Umno chief Shaik Hussein Mydin.

He rejected an errata published by the Malay daily on Dec 18, which the DAP secretary-general said did not comply with his request for amendment.

The amendment Lim wants includes Shaik Hussein retracting his statement that the CM was corrupt, that the Bagan Umno chief apologised to Lim and that the apology was the basis for the CM withdrawing his case against the Umno leader.

Lim is suing News Straits Times Press Bhd, in which Berita Harian is a subsidiary.
