If you are a law student or someone who knows the law well enough... Please tell me if telling someone "Please not be irresponsible" through the exchange of emails is enough to constitute as a defamatory remark?
Leave your email when you answer this question. I have questions to ask you.

I don't think so. Under Malaysian Law on defamation, a defamatory remark must be seen as a statement made with the intent by the person to defame the other, as well as your actions must be deemed by a reasonable person as defamatory.
A normal statement of telling a person to be responsible does not amount to defamation.
I know we talked about this earlier but I don't think a statement is defamatory if it's true. "Defamation" is a false accusation ...
@Teh Tarik Drinker: I thought so. Thanks! A company is trying to accuse me of defaming them just because I told them not to be so irresponsible after delaying my payment for 2 weeks.
@Beth: Yeah, I don't think calling them irresponsible is a false accusation in anyway.
