KUALA LUMPUR – Umno will initiate legal action against news portals Astro Awani and Malaysiakini over “slanderous” reports over the purported chain of events that occurred during the party's emergency meeting on Monday.
In a Facebook post today, Umno Youth chief Datuk Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki disputed what was reported by the two media organisations was incorrect, saying he was in the meeting and those “matters” were not discussed.
“It is outright slander and malicious reporting by Malaysiakini, which said that the prime minister was given an ultimatum to dissolve Parliament or risk being booted out.
“The same goes to Astro Awani, which produced a slanderous report stating that division chiefs during the meeting had asked the prime minister to intervene in the SRC International case.” – The Vibes, August 26, 2022
