#KiniNews: Perak PAS chief apologises to Anwar in court over LGBT claims

[KiniNews] Perak PAS chief Razman Zakaria apologised to Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim at the Ipoh High Court for claiming during an election campaign last year that Anwar condoned LGBT practices.

This was part of a settlement agreement between the two which Anwar’s lawyer SN Nair said his client had consented to as a goodwill gesture and to let the matter rest.

He added that the settlement had vindicated Anwar.

The apology was part of a consent judgment to settle Anwar’s defamation suit against Razman over the latter’s claim that Anwar said in a campaign speech he would promote an LGBT agenda, allow same-sex marriage, and support the communist agenda if he became prime minister.

It was previously reported that Anwar had issued a letter of demand to Razman seeking RM5 million in damages and a public apology over the claims.

Anwar claimed that the allegations were made without the defendant seeking prior confirmation of their truthfulness and validity.
