Najib to sue Chegubard over Facebook post
Najib Razak says he will sue Badrul Hisham Shaharin because ‘there is no need to waste time’ on individuals who cannot distinguish media headlines from his actual words.
PETALING JAYA: Najib Razak today said he will take legal action against Perikatan Nasional’s Badrul Hisham Shaharin, better known as Chegubard, over a video he posted last week.
Najib took offence to a posting on Badrul’s Facebook account, which referenced a 2013 speech in which the then prime minister was alleged to have asked, “What more do the Chinese want?”
“There is no need to waste time on individuals who fail to distinguish media headlines from what I actually said. I will sue,” Najib said on Facebook.
He challenged Badrul to identify where exactly he said those words in the media reports that ran the story.
“He (Badrul) can read the media articles line by line in court to identify where I used those words,” he said.
In the Facebook post last Friday, Badrul linked a video of Najib’s speech at the Penang International Business and Investment Summit earlier in the day, where the former prime minister denied saying the words.
The video showed an image of an Utusan Malaysia report alleging that Najib did in fact utter the words.
Badrul went on to claim that Najib had “lied” and “lost his memory”, citing how not only Utusan but several other news portals carried the story.
