The New Straits Times Press (NSTP), which filed a defamation suit against DAP stalwart Lim Kit Siang eight years ago for calling one of its reporters a racist, withdrew the legal action today.
Lawyers representing the group gave no reasons for the withdrawal.
The suit was filed against Lim after he was accused of labelling the publication group "unpatriotic" in a press conference held at the Parliament lobby in 2001.
A female reporter from the NSTP's Bahasa Malaysia daily, Berita Harian, had asked him if his demand that students’ intake to public universities be based on merit and not racial quotas would create racial tension.
Lim retorted by saying that the reporter's question was racist and said she was "unfit to be a Malaysian".
The group subsequently filed a defamation suit against Lim at the Kuala Lumpur High Court

This showed that Utusan had no basis for the case. And that Utusan is racist.
