Lawyers directed to take out a test case to sue the media which printed lies and defamatory material about me, like receiving RM1 billion bribe from Mahathir, just by quoting some “Tom, Dick and Harry”

The two UMNO stooges in the Cabinet have been knocked out and this is one reason for their silence in the past two days.

The other reason is that they have been directed to shut up by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s right-hand man, regarded as the maestro in blacks ops operation who has assigned other operatives to get the better of me in their long unending propaganda war against the DAP and Pakatan Harapan.

Since last Saturday, a digit operating outside the country had published the most vicious and downright lies about me, but when such lies and falsehoods were ignored, another digit operating inside the country was activated to repeat the vicious and downright lies.

It is not worth paying attention to these “Tom, Dick and Harry”, whether operating outside and inside the country, for they have absolutely no credibility whatsoever from any perspective. Nobody reads or believes what they say!

But when certain media allowed themselves to be used to publish and circulate these vicious and downright lies, such perversities and loopholes cannot be ignored.

Can we allow a situation where the most vicious and downrights lies can be told about the Prime Minister, and when these most vicious and downright lies are related by any “Tom, Dick and Harry” and ignored, some media can come along and disseminate them on the basis of the narration of some backrupt personality?

I have directed my lawyers to take out a test case to sue the media which printed lies and defamatory material about me, like receiving RM1 billion bribe from Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad so that Parti Pribumi Bersatu could join Pakatan Harapan, Mahathir made Pakatan Harapan Chairman, my silence on the Bank Negara foreign exchange (forex) scandal of the 90s and Datuk Seri Mukhriz Mahathir be given a safe Parliament seat to contest in the forthcoming general election.

The run-up to the 14th General Election is getting dirtier and dirtier, because Najib has realized that his hold in Putrajaya is very tenuous and Malaysians regardless of race, religion, region or even politics, deserve a political change to save Malaysia from kleptocracy and the trajectory towards a failed and a rogue state.
