PETALING JAYA: Plantation industries and commodities minister Khairuddin Aman Razali has denied talk that he is in a relationship with celebrity Mawar Karim, the ex-wife of actor Fizo Omar.
In a Facebook post, the Kuala Nerus MP also denied that he was arrested at a roadblock in Perasing, Kemaman, saying these “stories” were sensationalised and aimed at tarnishing his reputation.
“Legal action will be taken against any party found to have written, published or spread these false stories,” he said today.
Earlier, Terengganu police chief Roslee Chik had confirmed that Khairuddin was stopped and checked at a roadblock in Kemaman on May 16.
He said further investigations were ongoing and these would look into the viral allegations implicating the Kuala Nerus MP.
“He was checked while going through the roadblock on May 16 and Bukit Aman’s Classified Criminal Investigation Unit is conducting the investigation in this case,” he told Sinar Harian.
Sinar Harian reported that a WhatsApp message had gone viral of Khairuddin supposedly being stopped at the roadblock, with the text also alleging that the minister was in the car with Mawar.
It added that there had also been rumours going around that a PAS leader had married a divorcee.
The minister courted controversy last year after he was reported to have travelled to Turkey on July 3 with the prime minister’s permission, and had tested negative for Covid-19 on his return.
In the wake of public anger over the non-adherence to quarantine rules by the minister, the health ministry disclosed on Aug 22 that Khairuddin had been issued a RM1,000 compound fine for non-compliance, and said he had paid the fine. - FMT
