00:00DAP Secretary-General Lok Siu-fok has filed a lawsuit against lawyer and columnist Ang Weishang
00:07over three Facebook videos he claims are defamatory.
00:11In the suit, the Seremban MP claimed the videos, published between February and May this year,
00:18improperly linked him to a pig farming controversy and an alleged corporate mafia.
00:24Lok, the transport minister, says the videos falsely portray him as having misled the Chinese
00:29community and shielding the alleged corporate mafia.
00:33He also alleges that the videos were published maliciously, leading to negative comments and
00:38criticism online.
00:40In his statement of claim, Lok said the allegations were untrue, without factual basis and had harmed
00:46his reputation.
00:47He is seeking damages and a public apology from Ang.
00:51The High Court has scheduled the suit for case management on July 13th.
