Segambut MP Hannah Yeoh has gone to court over Kamarul Zaman Yusoff’s two online postings on an alleged attempt to turn Malaysia into a Christian nation.

However, in a counter-filing, the Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM) lecturer proclaimed he was ready to defend himself by proving the allegation in court.

DAP lawmaker Yeoh filed the civil action at the Kuala Lumpur High Court on Feb 24 this year.

Kamarul has an earlier, separate and ongoing civil defamation action against her over her Facebook post in September 2020.

The lecturer was suing Yeoh over her online response to the former’s posting of a campaign banner featuring her and the words “Peranan Umat Kristian Dalam Pembangunan Negara” (Christians and nation-building).
