---

 


Bangi MP Syahredzan Johan and Bentong MP Young Syefura Othman will initiate legal action against a Perikatan Nasional assemblyperson for making defamatory statements about them in a social media post.
In a joint statement today, the DAP lawmakers stated that Kuala Sentul assemblyperson Jasri Jamaludin from Bersatu claimed the pair had "volunteered to betray their race", along with other defamatory remarks.
“We take this matter seriously because we have previously been defamed by PN followers online. We did not expect such behaviour to be reflected by their leader, like this assemblyperson.
“We are also deeply disappointed that a Muslim elected representative is willing to defame us right after the end of the month of Syawal.
“We will seek legal advice and initiate legal action against him,” they added.
Sentul assemblyperson Jasri JamaludinUrging all PN elected representatives and leaders to be cautious, Syahredzan, who is also DAP vice-chairperson, and Young Syefura reminded them of previous costly defamation suits.
Last December, PAS MP Siti Mastura Muhammad was ordered to pay RM750,000 in damages to three DAP leaders.
This is over her claims linking DAP veteran Lim Kit Siang, his son Guan Eng and Seputeh MP Teresa Kok to the late Communist Party of Malaya supremo Chin Peng during a 2023 event in Kemaman, Terengganu.
In February this year, PAS deputy president Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man urged party leaders to verify their facts before making public statements to avoid defamation lawsuits and protect the party’s reputation.
In light of ongoing defamation cases and criticism over misinformation, he emphasised that even personal statements could be linked to the party due to the positions held by those making them. - Mkini
