Anwar vs Mahathir
Friday, September 23rd, 2005 | 5:30 pm @ SK
Ex-deputy prime minister Anwar Ibrahim sent a legal letter to the ex-premier Mahathir Mohamad for calling him a sodomist during a press conference at the Human Rights Commission of Malaysia (Suhakam) on Septemer 9, 2005.
The demands made in the letter are:
- A full and unqualified apology in writing which is to be published in all major newspapers and the electronic media.
- A sum of RM1,000 for the cost of issuing the demand letter.
- A sum of RM100 million as compensation for damages and injuries caused . Dr. Mahathir has 14 days to respond to the demand, failing which a defamation suit will be filed against him.
We’re going to witness a battle of an ancient figure vs another ancient figure, which will slowly evolve into another ancient story.
