Lembaga Tatatertib Perkhidmatan Awam Hospital Besar Pulau Pinang & Anor v Utra Badi K Perumal
Gopal Sri Ram JCA stated:

" When a person is deprived of his reputation, it would in my judgment amount to a deprivation of life within Art 5(1) of the Federal Constitution.The right to reputation is part and parcel of the human dignity. And it is the fundamental right of every person within the shores of Malaysia to live with common human dignity."
