Former Malacca chief minister Rahim Thamby Chik has issued a letter of demand to Kota Melaka MP Khoo Poay Tiong, demanding an apology and RM1.5 million in compensation.Rahim's membership application as the latter was a scandal-plagued leader. "I will not be agreeing to any of Rahim’s demand. I deny the allegation of defamation in the letter of demand.
"I will instruct my solicitors to reply to the said letter accordingly. I am prepared to defend and resist any legal action that may be filed by Rahim," the MP said in a statement today.This group gained notoriety after they screened a sex video to journalists in 2011 claiming that the clip showed PKR president Anwar Ibrahim allegedly with a prostitute. Anwar had denied this.
Khoo also pointed out that Rahim had been investigated for rape of a minor in 1994, although the case was later dropped due to a lack of evidence.This was in reference to his previous suit against the DAP for the statutory rape allegation, which prompted the party to retract its statement, citing subsequent developments where the accuser retracted the allegation.Khoo defended his remarks in December, saying Rahim's application to join Bersatu was a public interest issue.
"Does this mean that his application to Bersatu has been rejected and therefore is now free to sue me? "In any case, I urge Bersatu to take note of this recent action by Rahim and evaluate if he is fit to be part of Pakatan Harapan," he said.For almost 20 years, Malaysiakini has stayed true to the cause of providing the Malaysian public with the truth.
