Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng has forgiven PAS information chief Nasrudin Hassan after the latter made the RM10,000 payment as ordered by the court for a defamatory article against Lim.

Lim's special legal officer Raja Syarafina Raja Shuib noted that Nasrudin's lawyers will be issuing a cheque for the amount of RM10,000 as settlement for costs with respect to the consent judgment order, which also required Nasrudin to withdraw his defamatory article.
