00:00A former employee of Institut Kajian Strategic Islam Malaysia said the authorities never

00:06took action over Youth and Sports Minister Hannah Yeoh's biography.

00:11Harizal Hassan said the think tank gave opinions about Yeoh's book to the government in 2016,

00:17before its operations were suspended by the Pakatan Harapan government in 2018.

00:22He said the defendant in Yeoh's defamation suit, Kamarul Zaman Yusof, who is also a former

00:27research fellow with the think tank, had studied her book.

00:31However, Harizal said the authorities did not act on the opinions Iqsim submitted.

00:37He said he did not lodge any police report against Yeoh over the contents of her book

00:42and was unaware that the Home Ministry had approved the book for publication.

00:46He also told the court that he does not agree with the National Library's classification

00:51of Yeoh's book under the category Women Politicians.

00:56In 2022, Yeoh sued Kamarul after he accused her of proselytizing Christianity through

01:01her politics and intending to convert Malaysia into a Christian country.
