Bersatu man apologises to Hamzah over Tabung Haji post
Masjid Tanah Bersatu information chief Rodzi Mat Rejab accepts responsibility for publishing an allegedly defamatory claim against the Wawasan president without verifying it.
Opposition leader Hamzah Zainudin's lawyers have sent a letter of demand to Masjid Tanah Bersatu information chief Rodzi Mat Rejab over a social media post. The Wawasan president's information chief admitted to publishing the claim without proper verification, causing a letter of demand to be sent by the president's solicitors the following day.
In a Facebook post, Rodzi acknowledged that his earlier post included an image from other social media accounts but took responsibility for republishing it. He has since deleted the post and expressed remorse for the potentially defamatory statements that could have caused misunderstandings about the opposition leader. Rodzi acknowledged that other legal processes were ongoing and pledged to leave them to the authorities.
