Nurul Izzah’s defamation suit against IGP & Ismail Sabril to proceed to trial…

Nurul Izzah sued Khalid and Ismail last year for allegedly defaming her by claiming she had committed ‘treason’ by meeting Princess Jacel Kiram of Sulu. They allegedly accused her of being a ‘traitor’.

Nurul Izzah, who is also PKR Vice-President, is seeking general and aggregated damages as well as injunctions against Khalid and Ismail to stop them from making any further defamatory statements against her.

IGP, Ismail Sabri fail to strike out Nurul Izzah’s suit

June 17, 2016

The defamation suit, based on them alleging that the Lembah Pantai MP was a “traitor” and had committed “treason”, to proceed for trial.

KUALA LUMPUR: Inspector-General of Police Khalid Abu Bakar and Rural and Regional Development Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob have failed to have the defamation suit against them by Lembah Pantai MP Nurul Izzah struck out.

Justice John Louis O’Hara dismissed the duo’s application to strike out the lawsuit on the grounds that the suit has reasonable cause of action and was not suitable to be dismissed.

“The slander suit is not frivolous, scandalous and vexatious,” he said.

The court ordered Khalid and Ismail to pay a total of RM5,000 cost to Izzah.

Justice O’Hara fixed the trial date from May 8 to 11 next year.

“The case management to sort out the relevant documents will be on July 25,” he said.

He added, “No more interlocutory applications will be entertained unless there are special circumstances.”

Nurul Izzah’s lawyer, Shahid Adli Kamarudin, informed the court that his client will be the only witness to testify.

Senior federal counsel Alice Loke Yee Ching, for Khalid and Ismail, said both of them will take the witness stand.

IGP: Nurul Izzah may have committed treason by meeting Sulu ‘princess’

KUALA LUMPUR: PKR vice-president Nurul Izzah Anwar may have committed an act of treason by meeting with an enemy of the state, says Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar.

Speaking to reporters at Bukit Aman on Sunday, Khalid said he was infuriated that a member of the Malaysian parliament would engage in a meeting with Jacel, whom he described as having a hand in the death of several police and military officers during the incursion.

“She should know that her actions can be considered an act of treason. An MP meeting an enemy who attacked parts of our country; we need to know what was the reason behind this meeting.

“Who knows if the previous attacks were masterminded by the people in the country? We need to call in YB Nurul to provide clarification,” he explained.

“Jangan main-main (don’t mess around). This could be an offence under Section 124 of the Penal Code and we can use the Security Offences (Special Measures) Act (Sosma) to investigate her,” he added.

Section 124 of the Penal Code covers offences that threaten parliamentary democracy.

Khalid said that police would also investigate other individuals involved in the meeting with Jacel.

“Based on the pictures, this meeting was not coincidental. They came with banners and took photos in certain poses. In my opinion it’s not a coincidence.

“It’s a planned meeting and we want to know what discussions they had. She (Nurul Izzah) should be ready with answers,” he explained, while adding that police are expecting to record the Lembah MP’s statement next week.
