KUALA LUMPUR – Serba Dinamik Holdings Bhd, along with group managing director and chief executive officer Datuk Mohd Abdul Karim Abdullah, has initiated legal action against the owner and operator of KLSE Screener.
The company has obtained an ad interim injunction over the publication of allegedly false and defamatory comments posted by a user account impersonating its chief executive.
In a statement today, Karim said the user account “Datuk Mohd Karim” published false comments on the website klsescreener.com that led to undesirable speculation on Serba Dinamik’s stocks.
Serba Dinamik chairman Datuk Mohamed Ilyas Pakeer Mohamed said the injunction was obtained by the firm and Karim against Lim Kai Yang, who is KLSE Screener owner and operator.
He said the interim injunction will serve to restrain KLSE Screener from publishing, republishing or allowing any publication of false comments by any account impersonating Karim or Serba Dinamik.
“The company views such impersonation and publication of false comments as serious offences against the company and its CEO. These false comments have created unwanted speculation on Serba Dinamik, which jeopardises and destroys the goodwill and reputation of the company as well as Karim.”
He said the firm will continue to monitor several other platforms, adding that legal action will be taken against them should they publish false and defamatory articles on the company. – Bernama, August 23, 2021
