KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 22<\/strong> — The High Court today ordered Minister of Economy Rafizi Ramli to file his defence over a defamation suit filed against him by former Environment and Water Minister Datuk Seri Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man the latest by Dec 28.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tuan Ibrahim filed the suit against Rafizi last Nov 17 for allegedly defaming him regarding the approval of several projects, including on flood mitigation, to a company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lawyer Yusfarizal Yussoff, representing\u00a0Tuan Ibrahim, said the court also ordered his client to file his reply to the defence statement\u00a0 by Jan 11.<\/p>\n\n\n

In his statement of claim, Tuan Ibrahim alleged that Rafizi made defamatory statements against him at two press conferences at the PKR headquarters in Petaling Jaya, which were streamed live on the defendant\u2019s YouTube account, on Nov 7 and 9, 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The PAS deputy president claimed that the statements implied that during the time of the caretaker government, discussions and efforts involving the plaintiff were actively conducted to approve projects worth RM2 billion to Mangkubumi Sdn Bhd through direct negotiations for the Sungai Langat flood mitigation project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tuan Ibrahim is seeking an injunction to restrain the defendant, his agents or assistants  from broadcasting and publishing any similar statements and videos, whether directly or indirectly, apart from claiming for general, exemplary and aggravated damages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
