Malaysia's ex-finance minister Lim Guan Eng to file defamation suit over false story on son's arrest

KUALA LUMPUR - Malaysia's former finance minister Lim Guan Eng is filing a defamation suit against an Umno Youth leader over a false story alleging his son was arrested in Singapore.

He said that the false accusation was also repeated by political parties Umno, Parti Islam SeMalaysia , and supporters of the Umno-led Barisan Nasional coalition. In 2011, various blogs uploaded a post alleging that another son, Marcus, had molested a classmate. The claim was later proved to be false after the purported victim, a chess champion from Hong Kong, said she had never met him. Her photo on the blogsites was found to have been taken from a chess tournament she participated in.
