PUTRAJAYA – The prime minister’s political secretary Ahmad Farhan Fauzi today lodged a police report against three individuals for issuing and spreading false and defamatory statements against Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
The three individuals are political activist Badrul Hisham Shaharin, better known as Che’gu Bard; Bersatu Supreme Council member Datuk Wan Saiful Wan Jan, and blogger Raggie Jessy Rithaudeen.
Farhan said the report was lodged over the remarks made by Che’gu Bard and the speech by Wan Saiful at a recent event in Kedah pertaining to the personal residence and vehicles used by Anwar, which allegedly belonged to a businessman.
“All those statements are baseless, ill intended, and politically motivated,” he told reporters after lodging the report at the Putrajaya police headquarters here today. Also present was Anwar’s lawyer Datuk S.Sankara Narayanan Nair.
Putrajaya police chief A. Asmadi Abdul Aziz, when contacted, confirmed receiving the report, saying that an investigation will be carried out.
Meanwhile, Sankara said they have evidence and related documents on the lease agreement relating to Anwar’s house in Sg Long, Kajang, but they cannot be made public.
“The property he lives in is on a lease agreement signed by him for 10 years in 2020, way before he became the prime minister. The lease is properly paid, no argument about who owns it,” he said. – Bernama, July 13, 2023
