Read in context the impugned sentence bore the lesser meaning that the plaintiff abused his position and covered up aspects of the 1MDB scandal; the defendant proved Lucas Box particulars establishing substantial truth of that meaning and therefore justification succeeded; alternatively the publication was on an occasion of qualified privilege and the plaintiff failed to plead particulars of malice under Order 78 r3(3) ROC so could not rebut privilege; appeal dismissed and High Court decision affirmed.
