#KiniNews: Dr M's bid for documents in suit against Anwar denied; Sanusi denies defaming Tan

[KiniNews] The Shah Alam High Court denied former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s bid to compel Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim to reveal documents in his RM150 million defamation suit against Anwar.

The defamation suit is over Anwar's claims linked to him amassing personal riches while in power.

Among the brief grounds for the decision was that the alleged event raised in Anwar's amended statement of defence - was one that happened long ago and did not specifically state any documentation.

Mahathir's lawyer, Muhammad Rafique Rashid Ali said however, that in the event that the stated documents were there, then they would become part of Anwar's defence and needed to be shown during pre-trial case management.

Meanwhile, in a separate story, Kedah Menteri Besar Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor has denied labelling Vincent Tan and the tycoon’s company as corrupt.

Sanusi said this in his statement of defence against the duo’s defamation suit against him.
