PETALING JAYA: Prominent businessman Ameer Ali Mydin has challenged rapper Caprice to file a suit against him and his hypermarket chain over a Twitter post that allegedly humiliated the latter.
Caprice, or Ariz Ramli, had earlier threatened to sue the Mydin chain for RM30 million if he did not receive an apology from them. He also demanded for the Twitter post to be taken down.
“If he really wanted to file a lawsuit against us, then he should send our lawyers a letter of demand for our further action,” said Ameer.
Ameer was quoted by Kosmo as saying that his company had committed no offence in any of its posts uploaded across its social media platforms, nor did it insult anybody.
“We (Mydin) didn’t even mention the name Caprice or tag him in our post, so why is he offended?” he said.
Mydin’s Twitter post read: “Thought of just buying tea at first, but also bought a cap and some rice. Upon reaching home, I felt like the cap and rice were unnecessary.
“Luckily, Mydin allows purchases to be returned within 24 hours.”
Yesterday, Ariz posted on Instagram that he would proceed to take legal action against Mydin if the company did not issue a video apology and pay compensation for such a “reckless” posting.
“Due to this public humiliation, our client (Ariz) no longer feels safe and will forever be traumatised by shoppers and workers from Mydin,” the post said.
Today, Caprice uploaded an Instagram story offering to pay for Malaysians who wish to shop at Mydin.
“I’d like to pay for their rice, oil and three other items next week. Just choose whichever location, Subang Jaya, Bukit Jelutong or Batu Caves,” he said.
Ameer welcomed Ariz’s offer, saying that the hypermarket would throw in a 1kg packet of sugar for customers to sweeten the deal.
“It’s good that he’s doing charity work, helping others. Just don’t forget to contact the relevant Mydin branch,” he added. - FMT
