Just sue Raja Petra if undersea tunnel claims false, Gerakan tells Penang govt


Penang state executive councillors and former chief minister Lim Guan Eng should take controversial blogger Raja Petra Kamarudin to court for defamation over the latter’s undersea tunnel graft allegations, Gerakan said today.

(MMO) – Gerakan Vice President Oh Tong Keong said the project delivery partner, Consortium Zenith Construction Sdn Bhd (CZC), should also take the blogger to court.

“If his blog posts about the RM6.3 billion project are all lies and defamatory, the state government, the excos implicated and the contractor should sue Raja Petra and make him retract his posts,” he said when asked to comment on the graft allegations today.

Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad has labelled the political blogger as a liar and that the posts on the project were lies.

CZC Senior Executive Director Datuk Zarul Ahmad Mohd Zulkifli also responded to say the posts were “pure fiction” meant to deceive and defame the Penang state government and CZC.

Oh said the Penang state government and CZC can immediately debunk all these lies by revealing all in court.

“What do they have to lose? The former chief minister used to sue anyone who defamed him so he should also sue Raja Petra,” he said.
