Caretaker Kedah menteri besar Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor said his lawyers will send a letter of demand to Home Minister Saifuddin Nasution Ismail today.
He said Saifuddin (above, right) had allegedly defamed him over the theft of rare earth elements (REE) in Bukit Enggang, Sik and the issue of RM1.6 billion funding from the Malaysian Road Record Information System (Marris).
“My lawyers have emailed him tonight, tomorrow we will serve the letter and if he does not answer within the set time, we will sue.
“He accused me of being a thief of REE and he also accused me of using RM1.6 billion of Marris funding… for something else.
“He is piling all the things previous Umno ministers had done on my head when I do not know anything,” Sanusi said in a speech at a solidarity event for him in Sik, Kedah last night.
Sanusi had first announced his intention to sue Saifuddin over these two issues last Sunday.
Saifuddin, who is the Kedah Development Action Council chairperson, claimed that he did not disclose the theft of the REE to tarnish Sanusi’s image but rather to show that there is an issue of administrative malpractice.
Saifuddin also previously claimed that Sanusi had used funds from Marris meant for road maintenance for other development purposes. - Mkini
