Anwar has 10-year lease for 

Kajang house, says lawyer...

Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim had, in 2020, signed a 10-year lease for his current personal residence in Kajang, Selangor, according to lawyer Sankara Nair. Speaking to reporters outside Putrajaya district police headquarters, Sankara (above) said he had advised Anwar to lodge a report for criminal defamation against Bersatu information committee member Badrul Hisham Shaharin and two others.

This is over false claims made on the ownership of the house in Sungai Long, Kajang. "The claims are highly defamatory because there is no truth in the allegations about the property he lives in. "The property Anwar lives in is on lease. There is a lease agreement for 10 years, which I have here. It is part of the evidence.

“I have it with me here with his (Anwar's) name on it; if you do a land office search, you can find (it)," said Sankara who accompanied Anwar's political secretary Ahmad Farhan Fauzi today.

The veteran lawyer said that as prime minister, Anwar can live wherever he wants as long as he feels secure about it. "And he has a 10-year lease, so why should he leave? Why does he have to move out just because he's the prime minister?" asked Sankara.

Badrul, better known as Chegubard, raised questions about the property on Tuesday after lodging a report with the MACC. The Bersatu man claimed the property belongs to a business tycoon.

In response, Farhan said he had lodged a report under Section 500 of the Penal Code and Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act against Badrul, former Bersatu information chief Wan Saiful Wan Jan and blogger Raggie Jessy Rithaudeen over their remarks, alleging it had defamed Anwar.

"Evidence that strongly rebuts the false claims will be handed over to the police as part of the investigations," said Farhan.

Aside from Anwar's house, Badrul had also raised an issue with Anwar utilising several luxury cars which he claimed were not owned by the Pakatan Harapan chairperson.

This includes a Jaguar allegedly owned by Yayasan Aman Bhd, of which Anwar is its founder and adviser - and a BMW allegedly owned by another businessperson who hails from Selangor.

Asked about the matter today, Sankara said he was informed by Anwar that all of the cars have been returned to their owners.

"They were all second-hand cars…all loaned to him. "As soon as he became prime minister, he returned everything. That's what he told me this morning," said Sankara.

“I advised the prime minister to forget about a civil suit and go for criminal defamation. You can be jailed if found guilty. I think that is a better way. I advised the prime minister in that manner and that is why we lodged a report today,” said Nair. He added that civil action would take years while the respondent to the suit would onl

Additionally, Sankara said the police have also been urged to investigate Badrul for the alleged breach of Section 65 of the MACC Act 2009 which prohibits public disclosure of content of any report lodged. He pointed out that the clause provided a safeguard to parties under MACC’s investigation, in the event the claims made against them are found to be false. - mk

Cops probing Sanusi over 

remarks on Selangor sultan...

Police are investigating Kedah menteri besar Sanusi Nor for offences related to race, religion and royalty, better known as 3R, for allegedly insulting the Sultan of Selangor, Inspector-General of Police Razarudin Husain said.

“We will take seven days to wrap up the investigation as we have a task force for such offences,” he told reporters at Bukit Aman here today.

Earlier, several PKR members lodged a police report against Sanusi over remarks he allegedly made at a ceramah recently.

Shah Alam PKR information chief Suryamuizzudin Kamarudin accused Sanusi of disregarding the authority and prerogative of the sultan in the appointment of the menteri besar.

Sanusi had reportedly drawn a comparison between the Kedah and Selangor sultans, and said the Kedah ruler would not have appointed Amirudin Shari as the menteri besar.

Meanwhile, Razarudin advised political leaders to stop touching on 3R issues, especially when the state elections are near, as their supporters would potentially react by causing tension in public.

“Some people cross the line when talking, without thinking about the feelings of others. If it were me, if my words insulted the royal institution, I would seek a pardon,” he said. - fmt
