Court denies the former prime minister’s application for Anwar Ibrahim to produce Konsortium Perkapalan ‘bailout’ documents in his defamation lawsuit.
Dr Mahathir Mohamad is suing Anwar Ibrahim for statements made at a PKR congress on March 18 calling him a racist and saying he had enriched his family while in office.
Mahathir had wanted Anwar to produce documents on an alleged bailout of Konsortium Perkapalan Bhd by Petronas and Malaysia International Shipping Corporation in 1997. The former prime minister had also asked that Anwar, now the prime minister, produce reports relating to Perwaja Steel Bhd’s request for funds from the government in 1998, as well as documents relating to legal fees paid to two law firms – Lewis & Co and VK Lingam & Co.
“If there are any documents, they will be part of the defendant’s defence, and he would need to produce them during pre-trial case management later,” he said.Mahathir is suing Anwar for statements made at a PKR congress on March 18 calling him a racist and saying he had enriched his family while in office.
