Mr Leong continued, “This article related to the IMDB saga. I did not add any comments or embellish the article by The Coverage.my, but merely shared it”.

This was confirmed by local media site The Online Citizen, who noted that “that the article was shared without any captions. Meaning Leong did not include any comments of his own other than sharing the STR article.”

In his Facebook post that day, Mr Leong also wrote, “On the 10th of November, I received a notice from IMDA with a demand that the shared post be taken down within 6 hours. I complied with that demand”.

Earlier today (September 26), Leong’s lawyer Lim Tean shared, “I shall be arguing Leong Sze Hian’s Appeal against the striking out of his Counterclaim for damages against Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong for abuse of process of the Court, in the Court of Appeal tomorrow.

The hearing starts at 230 pm and is open to the public”.

He added that the panel of three judges hearing the appeal will be Chief Justice Sundaresh Menon, Justice Of Appeal Andrew Phang And Justice Of Appeal Judith Prakash.

The dates for the defamation trial has not been revealed as of yet.

The hearing on Friday (September 27) will be to determine whether Leong Sze Hian is allowed to pursue a counterclaim for damages against the Prime Minister for alleged abuse of process of the Court. /TISG
