She says the blog has lied in implicating her in alleged foul play in the Morais murder probe.
PETALING JAYA: “A pack of lies” – that’s what Mabel Muttiah, a special assistant to the Attorney-General, says about a Sarawak Report article implicating her in alleged foul play in the investigation into the murder of deputy public prosecutor Kevin Morais.
The article, published on the whistleblower website yesterday, concerned alleged text messages Muttiah sent to Morais’ family members that it said were attempts to bully and bribe them into pushing for the late DPP’s body to be cremated before a second post-mortem could be performed.
“The report was a pack of lies,” Muttiah told FMT today. “There must be something wrong with these people. They could have called me and verified the information before publishing the story, but they didn’t.
“It’s a substandard way of reporting. They are just out to get anyone they can.”
She said she was considering lodging a police report and taking legal action against Sarawak Report.
“It puts my integrity into question and that is painful,” she said of the article. “It affects my image, my career, my family.”
She also said she was hoping that “something could be done” against Sarawak Report. “They can’t get away with tarnishing the reputation of whomever they please.”
The blog claimed to be in possession of text messages that proved Muttiah’s direct involvement in the conspiracy to “unlawfully remove Morais’ body from the hospital morgue, behind the back of his closest family members.”
It said this was done on the day the courts received an application for a second post-mortem to be conducted on Morais’ body to determine the real cause of his death.
Morais, 55, went missing on September 4. His body was found 12 days later. It was submerged in an oil drum filled with cement.
On September 28, eight men, including an army doctor, were charged at two courts over the murder.
