00:00 Lim Guan Eng is suing Azmin Ali for claiming that the DAP Chairman's lansi or arrogant
00:06 style had scared off Chinese businesses.
00:09 The Selangor Perikatan Nasional Chairman allegedly made the remarks in November last year when
00:14 addressing the Chinese community in Lunas Kedah.
00:17 Azmin was quoted in a news article as saying that Lim, who was Finance Minister at the
00:21 time, had used the Inland Revenue Board to go after companies linked to MCA.
00:26 He then allegedly advised Lim to deal with matters related to tax evasion properly and
00:31 not to be lansi.
00:33 In a filing at a high court in Sungai Petani, Lim said the statements had injured his character
00:37 and reputation.
00:39 He said the remarks also made it look like he had abused his power as a Finance Minister
00:43 and carried out selective persecution against companies linked to MCA.
