Farhash files defamation suit against Yusoff Rawther

PKR president Anwar Ibrahim’s political secretary Farhash Wafa Salvador Rizal Mubarak last Friday filed a defamation suit against Anwar’s former research assistant Muhammad Yusoff Rawther.
The Writ of Summons was filed by Farhash, through legal firm Messrs Kumar Thangaraj & Co at the High Court Registry in Kuala Lumpur in relation to Yusoff having allegedly uttered defamatory words during a press conference on Dec 4 last year.
On Dec 13 last year, it was reported that Farhash, who is also a PKR central committee member and the party’s Perak state chief, instructed his lawyer to initiate legal action against Yusoff.
During the Dec 4 press conference, Yusoff, 26, not only claimed that he was a victim of indecent exposure, molest and a lewd proposal by Port Dickson MP Anwar, 72, but also that the police purportedly did not take action over his (Yusoff) police report accusing Farhash of assault him at Anwar’s office in Petaling Jaya in May last year.
