I am not involved in COMANGO process - Marina Mahathir

Ikatan Muslimin Malaysia (ISMA), in a flyer distributed at mosques throughout the country at prayers on Friday November 8, accused me of being one of the "dalangs" (masterminds) behind COMANGO.

This is wholly untrue. Although I am a Board member of Sisters in Islam, one of the NGOs in the coalition, I was not involved in any way in the COMANGO process.

Therefore, I view this allegation by ISMA as defamatory and demand that ISMA and its office bearers withdraw it immediately with a public clarification in all media, including social media, on my terms.

Failure to do so will result in my taking legal action against them.

I also view very seriously the re-publication of ISMA's flyer in various media, both mainstream and online, and regard this also as defamatory.

I therefore request that all media publish my clarification immediately as well or also face legal action.
