PETALING JAYA: Kedah menteri besar Sanusi Md Nor says is he ready to face Anwar Ibrahim in court after the latter filed a defamation suit against him for allegedly insinuating that he was immoral.
“See you in court… We’ll talk about history,” Sanusi said on Facebook tonight without elaborating further.
He also uploaded pictures showing several legal documents.
Yesterday, FMT reported that Anwar’s lawyers, Messrs S N Nair & Partners, filed a suit at the Alor Setar High Court, stating that the prime minister is seeking damages for slander and/or libel from Sanusi for damaging his reputation.
In the statement of claim, Anwar alleged that Sanusi implied that he had abused his powers as an MP, was deceitful, a traitor, a hypocrite and not a good Muslim.
Anwar said the previous Yang di-Pertuan Agong granted him a full pardon on June 16, 2018, for his three convictions – one for abuse of power and two for sodomy – on the basis that there was a “miscarriage of justice”.
He said the pardon was also granted on the basis that there was a conspiracy to destroy his character.
Sanusi allegedly made the remarks in a speech ahead of the general election. Subsequently, a video of the speech was posted on Facebook. The contents of Sanusi’s speech was also reported in the media.
