KUCHING, July 10 — The Astana Negeri Sarawak has lodged a police report against individuals, who had allegedly made scathing comments against the wife of the Yang Di-Pertua Negeri, Toh Puan Datuk Patinggi Raghad Kurdi Taib.
A spokesman said the report was lodged by several Astana officers at Gita police station last Saturday.
Asked who the Astana Negeri had complained about, the spokesman said it was against certain individuals cited in an online news portal’s report but he did not name them.
It is believed, however, that the complaints were in connection with comments made by Global Human Rights Federation vice president Peter John Jaban and his associate, Robert Saweng recently.
They had questioned Raghad’s status as a Sarawakian and the privileges she, as well as her son from her earlier marriage, Nizar Mahmoud Madi, enjoy.
Peter and Robert had lodged police reports on the matter at Sungai Maong police station here on June 28, 2023.
In a press statement today, Peter said he viewed the police report against him and his associates as an attempt to stifle debate on the status and position of a public figure, although that information was already in the public domain and subject of several news reports. — Borneo Post
