Sultanah Terengganu Saman Sarawak Report Berhubung Isu Buku 1MDB.

The Malaysian Insight | SULTANAH Terengganu menghantar surat tuntutan kepada Pengarang Sarawak Report Clare Rewcastle-Brown berhubung dakwaan fitnah dalam buku yang baru diterbitkan mengenai skandal 1Malaysia Development Bhd (MDB).

Sultanah Nur Zahirah

Sultanah Nur Zahirah dijangka memfailkan saman fitnah yang menuntut ganti rugi tidak dinyatakan dan permohonan maaf berhubung dakwaan beliau terlibat dalam konspirasi dengan ahli perniagaan kelahiran Pulau Pinang Low Taek Jho serta dituduh terlibat dalam urusan pentadbiran kerajaan berhubung 1MDB.

Peguam beliau, Mohd Haziq Phillip Abdullah, memberitahu The Malaysian Insight surat tuntutan sudah dihantar kepada Rewcastle-Brown di London.

Petikan halaman tiga buku Rewcastle-Brown, “The Sarawak Report : The Inside Story of the 1MDB Expose” turut disertakan.

Haziq menghantar kepada The Malaysian Insight petikan yang dimaksudkan:

“In April he (Low) had netted himself an official advisory role at the newly set-up sovereign wealth fund designed to invest the oil revenues from the Malaysian State of Terengganu (since elections in this oil state had just been won by the opposition, BN was ruthlessly looking for ways to divert its revenues into a federally controlled entity).

“Jho (Low) was also friendly with a key player in Terengganu, the wife of the sultan, whose acquiescence was needed to set up the fund and he later cited her support as having been crucial to his obtaining the advisory position. This was the fund that would shortly be converted into the scandalous entity known as 1MDB ...”

1MDB dahulunya dikenali sebagai Badan Kuasa Pelaburan Terengganu sebelum ditukar nama pada 2009 di bawah pentadbiran Najib Razak.

Hazid berkata saman itu akan memberi tumpuan kepada petikan buku itu. – 27 September 2018.
