Anwar saman Tuan Ibrahim berkait kenyataan dalam ceramah didakwa fitnah
Perdana menteri menyaman timbalan presiden PAS itu berhubung dakwaan beliau campur tangan dalam siasatan polis dan institusi diraja di Negeri Sembilan.
Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has filed a defamation lawsuit against PAS Deputy President Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man, nearly two weeks after requesting an apology and withdrawing a statement made during a party rally two months prior. According to Anwar's lawyer, SN Nair, the lawsuit was filed at the High Court in Kuala Lumpur today. The lawsuit stems from a statement allegedly made by Tuan Ibrahim at a PAS rally in Felda Jenderak Utara, Kuala Krau, Pahang, on June 14th last year, which Anwar claims to be false and inciting religious hatred.
He accuses individuals criticizing the minister of potentially facing police investigations soon. The opposition MP also touched upon allegations of slander, corruption, and abuse of power, which the lawyer believes could refer to the Prime Minister and his administration. Anwar is seeking damages, injunctions against the publication of further statements, replication or continued dissemination of the alleged defamatory statement, as well as a direction to erase the statement from Tuan Ibrahim's social media account and other publications under his control, plus any other benefits, costs, and reliefs the court may deem appropriate.
