Muhyiddin suing Anwar over Felda debt claim

 

Muhyiddin Yassin said the two documents Anwar Ibrahim produced earlier today were not related to the waiver of the RM8.3 billion owed by settlers.

PETALING JAYA: Muhyiddin Yassin will sue Anwar Ibrahim for defamation over the prime minister’s claim that the Perikatan Nasional government did not write off RM8.3 billion in Felda settlers’ debt.

Muhyiddin said the two documents Anwar produced earlier today did not concern the waiver of the RM8.3 billion owed by settlers, but the issuance of sukuk and revolving credit to Felda.

The former prime minister claimed that this reflected Anwar’s incompetency to helm the top post.

“Since Anwar has failed to issue an unconditional public apology within 24 hours, as stated in my letter of demand, I have instructed my lawyers to file a defamation suit against him,” he said in a Facebook post.
