Politicians are often the subject of public debate, but this does not absolve individuals from making false claims about them. While freedom of speech is protected, it does not extend to the right to defame someone, even in the context of political discourse. Public figures, while subject to greater scrutiny, are still entitled to protection against fabricated statements.

Did he accuse and fitnah her of saying something she did not - this could constitute defamation under the law, particularly if the accusation damages her reputation, causes public outrage, or lowers her standing in the eyes of others.

Did he made the accusation recklessly or with the intent to mislead the public - the defamation case strengthens. Even if he did not intend harm, negligence in verifying the facts before making public accusations would still be a valid basis for a defamation claim.

Did he accuse or fitnah her of making a statement such as against the certification that she never made - this would be a clear case of falsity. The essence of defamation lies in false claims, and fabricating her opinion or "tokok tambah" (exaggerating or adding false elements) means that the statement is not based on truth, but rather on a deliberate distortion of her actual words.
