Clint said he was already in Singapore on Feb 20 that year.
Clint said in his testimony.It was a Saturday (on Feb 29, 2020) and I was probably at home or with my friends,
Clint and Guan Eng jointly filed a lawsuit against controversial blogger Wan Azri Wan Deris after the latter spread
that Clint had been detained while trying to smuggle RM2 million in cash into Singapore.false accusations
Wan Azri had also alleged that Guan Eng had flown to the island on Feb 29, 2020 to
.save his son
Both father and son are seeking damages from Wan Azri, who is a former Umno Youth exco member.
Clint added that he never cheated any businessman in Malaysia, as alleged by Wan Azri.
he said.I was working in Singapore from 2019 to 2021 and had no business dealings in Malaysia (during the material time),
To a question by Wan Azri’s lawyer, Logen Eskander Abdullah, on whether he lodged a police report or complaint with the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission against Wan Azri, Clint said he did not.
he added.I left it to my father (to do that),
Earlier today, Guan Eng continued his testimony and said that Wan Azri’s Facebook post was the

However, Logen disputed Guan Eng’s testimony, saying there were other social media users who posted the allegation before Wan Azri did.
Logen: So did you sue the wrong party?
Guan Eng: I don’t think so, I sued the right person.
Logen then asked Guan Eng about his statement on Wan Azri implicating his son in a sexual harassment case.
The lawyer then pressed Guan Eng repeatedly on why he did not file a suit back then. This irked Guan Eng, prompting him to call Logen a liar.
Logen then demanded Guan Eng retract his statement and Judicial Commissioner Eddie Yeo reminded everyone to observe decorum in court.
Yeo said.Witness (Guan Eng), please retract the word ‘liar’ directed at the defendant’s lawyer,
Guan Eng complied with the court’s instruction.
The hearing continues on Aug 15.
