A long time ago a certain TT Durai sued a good friend of mine Archie Ong for defamation. Ong was forced to issue a public apology and pay costs.
A decade on TT Durai, emboldened by support from high places, decided to take on the ST group. Unfortunately he met his match and more in a certain Bahyi Singh who was even better connected.
There are no absolute truths only opinions that matter and opinions that don't.
What kind of statement are you making?
Your example clearly shows that people in high places can use their financial muscles to silence those who want to reveal the TRUTH. They will use the court system to claim that the truth are lies and ask the person (in this case your good friend Archie Ong) to clean out his bank account in compensation.
This is a case of obscuring the truth, not about the notion that there are only opinions!
When Bayi took on Durai, the TRUTH was finally allowed to be TOLD to the PUBLIC. The NKF saga was therefore about making the truth count, and bringing a genuinely dishonest man (Duari) to JUSTICE.
