Sivarasa's defamation suit against Ku Nan set for next June

The High Court in Kuala Lumpur has fixed four days beginning June 25 next year for the trial of Subang MP Sivarasa Rasiah's defamation suit against Federal Territories Minister Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor over his comments alleging the PKR MP had discussed politics in a Selangor mosque.

It was reported that Sivarasa filed the suit on June 13, following Tengku Adnan's comments, which Sivarasa alleged had falsely accused him of making a political speech at the Masjid An Nur, Kampung Melayu Subang in May.

The dates were fixed by Judicial Commissioner Wan Ahmad Farid Wan Salleh following case management today.

This was related by Sivarasa's lawyer Latheefa Koya. SS Ruban appeared for Tengku Adnan.

Discussing politics in the mosque is prohibited in Selangor.

Sivarasa (photo) claimed that Tengku Adnan's statement was malicious.

“He knew that I had already denied it in my earlier press statements which were widely reported. His false statement implies that I had the intent of using the mosque for political purposes and did not give due respect to it,” said the Subang MP.

Sivarasa's mosque visit on May 24 caused a stir and earned the ire of Selangor Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah.

The PKR leader has since apologised to the Selangor ruler in a letter, explaining what had actually transpired during the programme was not political in nature.

“In that letter, I had explained to the sultan that my short speech was not a ceramah, neither was it a political speech,” he said.

Sivarasa also claimed he has a video of Ku Nan's speech where the minister had scandalously described him as “'ketagih yang pergi ke tempat-tempat judi" ("an addict who frequents gambling outlets").

“This will be shown in court through a video recording of his speech,” he said, adding that he will wait to see how Tengku Adnan is going to substantiate his false and malicious accusations against him.

Tengku Adnan has already filed his defence to the suit while Sivarasa had also given his reply to the minister's defence.

Latheefa said a case management of the case has been fixed on Jan 25.- Mkini
