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.
