Fashion entrepreneur Christy Ng says defamation case is about livelihoods of nearly 500 workers, not just her

Christy Ng is pursuing a defamation case to protect the livelihoods of nearly 500 employees at her company.

The defendant has not issued a public apology as ordered by the court and missed the related hearing.

A new court date is set for October 26 and a bankruptcy notice has been filed against the defendant.

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 19 — Fashion entrepreneur Christy Ng says her defamation case is about more than herself, as the livelihoods of nearly 500 employees are at stake.

The businesswoman and social media influencer expressed frustration with the social media account holder’s refusal to issue a public apology over what she described as extreme defamatory allegations against her business, Berita Harian reported today.

Ng said the individual continued posting on Threads despite failing to attend court proceedings related to the case.

“If he had truly regretted his mistake, he should have come and apologised. But he is still writing on Threads and showing no remorse.

“He can keep posting on social media but does not come to court for the proceedings,” she told reporters outside the court today.

A hearing was scheduled today for an application to commit a man for allegedly failing to comply with a court order requiring him to publish a public apology in a newspaper.

Ng and her company, Christy Ng Sdn Bhd, as plaintiffs, filed the application at the High Court against J Vikneshvra Rau, the defendant.

The application followed allegations that Vikneshvra had failed to publish an unconditional, full-page apology in both a Malay-language and an English-language newspaper, as ordered by the court.

However, the High Court today fixed October 26 as the new hearing date after the defendant failed to appear for the proceedings.

Ng said this was the first time she had taken legal action over a defamation case of this nature, as she considered the allegations excessive and damaging to her company’s reputation and employees.

She said the allegations, written in English, had also been read by customers in other countries, including the Philippines and Indonesia, and had affected her family.

“He has damaged the company’s reputation and the livelihoods of nearly 500 people working for my company across South-east Asia.

“My parents were also deeply affected when they read the defamatory claims.

“So this is not just about me, but also about my responsibility towards the employees who depend on this company to earn a living,” she said.

Ng said the legal action was taken to defend the company’s reputation and safeguard the welfare of employees who relied on the business for their livelihoods.

Meanwhile, her lawyer Foong Cheng Leong said the individual had yet to pay any part of the RM180,000 in damages awarded by the court in the case.

He said a bankruptcy notice against the individual had also been filed in court last week.

Christy Ng正在提起诽谤诉讼，以保护她公司近500名员工的生计。

被告人未按法院命令发表公开道歉声明，并缺席了相关听证会。

新的庭审日期定于10月26日，被告已被提起破产诉讼。

吉隆坡，10 月 19 日讯——时尚企业家 Christy Ng 表示，她的诽谤案不仅仅关乎她自己，还关系到近 500 名员工的生计。

据《每日新闻》今日报道，这位女商人兼社交媒体影响者对社交媒体账户持有者拒绝就她所描述的针对其企业的极端诽谤性指控公开道歉表示不满。

吴先生表示，尽管该人没有出庭参加与此案相关的法庭审理，但他仍然继续在 Threads 上发帖。

“如果他真的后悔自己的错误，就应该来道歉。但他仍然在Threads上写东西，丝毫没有悔意。”

“他可以继续在社交媒体上发帖，但却不来法庭参加庭审，”她今天在法庭外告诉记者。

今天安排了一场听证会，审理一项将一名男子送入精神病院的申请，该男子被指控未遵守法院命令，该命令要求他在报纸上发表公开道歉声明。

原告 Ng 和她的公司 Christy Ng Sdn Bhd 向高等法院提起诉讼，被告为 J Vikneshvra Rau。

此前有指控称，维克内什瓦拉未能按照法院命令，在马来语和英语报纸上刊登无条件的整版道歉声明。

然而，由于被告未出庭，高等法院今天将新的庭审日期定为 10 月 26 日。

吴女士表示，这是她第一次就此类诽谤案件采取法律行动，因为她认为这些指控过分且损害了公司的声誉和员工的利益。

她说，这些用英文写的指控也被其他国家的顾客阅读过，包括菲律宾和印度尼西亚的顾客，并且影响了她的家人。

“他损害了公司的声誉，也损害了近 500 名在东南亚为我公司工作的员工的生计。

“我的父母在读到这些诽谤性言论后也深受打击。”

“所以这不仅关乎我个人，也关乎我对那些依靠这家公司谋生的员工的责任，”她说。

吴先生表示，采取法律行动是为了捍卫公司声誉，保障依靠公司谋生的员工的福祉。

与此同时，她的律师冯成良表示，该男子尚未支付法院判决的18万令吉赔偿金的任何部分。

他说，上周法院也已收到针对该个人的破产通知书。
