Malaysiakini : Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim contended that Kuala Terengganu MP Ahmad Amzad Hashim is under a legal duty not to make false and slanderous statements regarding the former allegedly receiving RM15 million payment.
Read it all here......In his reply to Amzad’s statement of defence against his defamation suit at the High Court in Kuala Terengganu, the Harapan chairperson pointed out that Faekah Hussin - who used to be the chief executive officer of Menteri Besar Incorporated (MBI) in Selangor and whom the PAS lawmaker cited for raising the issue - had actually denied making any such statement linked to Anwar’s time as economic adviser to Selangor.
Anwar, who is the Tambun MP, contended that the defendant could not rely on the defence of justification, qualified privilege and fair comment because not only Faekah denied ever having made such a statement, but that the plaintiff himself had rubbished the allegation during a previous Parliament sitting on Oct 13, 2014.
The PKR president cited the Dewan Rakyat Hansard of that sitting showing himself not only denying the allegation but also contending he was only paid RM1 worth of allowance for his advisory role to the state.
