[KiniNews] Former Umno member Khairy Jamaluddin is suing Sungai Besar Umno chief Jamal Md Yunos for RM1 million over alleged defamation.

The former minister’s counsel from law firm Aizat Izuan Shakeel filed the civil action at the High Court in Kuala Lumpur on May 24.

The plaintiff’s writ of summons centred over Jamal’s press conference on the sidelines of the then-Umno general assembly at the World Trade Centre (WTC) on Jan 14.

On that date during a press conference, Jamal reportedly said he would lodge a complaint with the Umno disciplinary board against then-party member Khairy over the latter’s allegation of an attempt to bring in “phantom voters” into the party general assembly.

According to a copy of the suit’s statement of claim sighted by Malaysiakini, Khairy claimed that Jamal’s statement during the press conference implied that the plaintiff has no integrity and credibility as a leader, was involved in corruption to split Umno members for personal gain, among other contentions.

Through the civil action, among others Khairy seeks RM1 million in special damages as well as unspecified general, aggravated, and exemplary damages.
