ATOMY MALAYSIA SDN BHD v FIRDAUS WONG WAI HUNG

wa-23cy-32-05-2021 High Court (Mahkamah Tinggi) 14 December 2025 • WA-23CY-32-05/2021

Catchwords

Atomy Malaysia Sdn Bhd sued an Islamic preacher for defamation over Facebook posts linking Atomy to Christian proselytisation. The High Court dismissed the claim. Posts 2 and 3 failed for defective pleadings; Posts 5 and 6 referred to individual agents, not the company. For Posts 1 and 4, justification and fair comment succeeded—the court found it true that parent company Atomy Korea pursues Christian missionary objectives, with the plaintiff remitting high profits to it. JAKIM and the Muzakarah MKI rulings prohibiting Muslim involvement with Atomy corroborated the defendant's concerns. Defamation; fair comment; justification; parent-subsidiary relationship; religious public interest
