PETALING JAYA: Anwar Ibrahim has filed a defamation suit against Perak PAS chief Razman Zakaria over the latter’s claim that Anwar, who is PKR president, would promote a LGBT agenda, allow same-sex marriage and support the communist agenda.
The suit was filed at the High Court in Taiping, which issued a summons for Razman to appear in court. He has been given 14 days to make an appearance.
Anwar is demanding damages and an injunction to prevent Razman from making further defamatory statements against him.
The suit follows a letter of demand for a public apology, RM5 million in damages and a written assurance that he will not repeat the allegations.
Anwar’s lawyer, SN Nair, had previously said Razman’s allegations implied that Anwar had abused his powers as an MP, was deceitful, a traitor, a hypocrite and not a good Muslim.
Razman’s post on Facebook had attracted more than 43,500 views, 1,000 comments, 3,100 reactions and 256 shares as at the time the demand letter was sent, the lawyer said.
