Court Sets Feb 15 For Azam S Defamation Suit Case Management


 
Azam Baki is suing Lalitha Kunaratnam for allegedly publishing defamatory articles in a news portal on the purchase of shares.KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court has set Feb 15 for case management for the lawsuit filed by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief commissioner Azam Baki against the Center to Combat Corruption and Cronyism (C4) senior researcher Lalitha Kunaratnam for allegedly publishing defamatory articles in a news portal on the purchase of shares.
A check on the court system revealed that the date was fixed when the case was mentioned before senior assistant registrar Noordura Mohamed Din during an online proceeding at 9am today.
Azam, 59, filed the suit yesterday through Messrs Zain Megat & Murad naming Lalitha, 39, as the sole defendant.
In his statement of claim, Azam said the defendant had written two articles titled “Business Ties Among MACC Leadership: How Deep Does It Go? (Part 1)” and “Business Ties Among MACC Leadership: How Deep Does It Go? (Part Two)” that she published in the Independent News Service (INS) portal on Oct 26 and republished on Dec 15 last year.
He claimed that the defendant had shared links to the articles on her Twitter account @LalithaVelvet that were still accessible to this day.
Azam said the articles were sensational, scandalous and offensive and were written and republished with malicious intent to give a bad perception to the readers that he was a corrupt civil servant or one who had abused his position as a senior MACC officer for his or his sibling’s interests.
He claimed that apart from the two articles and tweets, the defendant had uploaded a media statement released by her lawyer, Manjeet Singh Dhillon, on her Twitter account on Jan 9.
Azam claimed that the defamatory statement, among others, said he owned shares and warrants worth millions of ringgit purchased using money obtained illegally and that he had invested millions of ringgit in a short period apart from not declaring the purchase of shares and warrants during his tenure as the MACC director of investigations.
In addition, he claimed that the statement said he and his brother through the company RI Intelligence Sdn Bhd were directly or indirectly involved in illegal secret activities.
He said the statement also defamed the MACC as a whole and the defendant also seemed to have insulted the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, who had appointed him as the MACC chief commissioner under existing laws.
Azam also claimed that the defendant had abused her role as an investigative journalist to manipulate and mislead the public with the defamatory statement which was untrue and speculative.
He said a letter of demand had been issued requesting the defendant to delete the defamatory statement and apologise, but Lalitha, through her lawyer, had issued a press statement on her Twitter account wherein she claimed to stand by the articles which clearly showed no remorse.
Azam claimed that the defamatory publication had tarnished his name and reputation and therefore, he sought an order to prevent Lalitha or her agents from making, publishing or causing the defamatory statement to be republished.
He is also requesting the defendant to delete the articles and tweets within three days of judgment and to issue an apology to be published in newspapers and social media platforms of his choice.
He is also seeking RM10 million in general damages, aggravated damages, interests, costs and other reliefs deemed fit by the court. - FMT
