Defamation

Defamation can means that a person who uses words to degrade the other party’s status publicly.

Recently I came across a video in youtube of this guy name namewee which he swear , curse TNB Muar because of the frequent backouts which happens in his neighbourhood.

Acording to Defamation Act 1957, section(5), in an action for slander in respect of words calculated to disparage the plaintiff in any office, profession, calling, trade or business held or carried on by him at the time of the publication, it shall not be necessary to allege or prove special damage whether or not the words are spoken of the plaintiff in the way of his office, profession, calling, trade or business.

So I think the action of the person is really unethical and he may face problems / sues from TNB.
