Anwar Sues NST For RM100m
Opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim is suing the News Straits Times for RM100 million in damages, for insinuating he is an American agent in an article written six years ago.
The English-language daily’s former deputy group editor Datin Rose Ismail today denied defaming Anwar in the article.
The Kuala Lumpur High Court heard both their testimonies.
Meantime former ACA director of investigations Abdul Razak Idris told the High Court today he had cleared Anwar Ibrahim of allegations of stashing RM3 billion in foreign accounts and having foreign links to Western interests.
