Question

Accepted Answer

P. Ramasamy Has Confirmed Receipt of the Writ and Engaged Legal Counsel

Penang Deputy Chief Minister II P. Ramasamy has confirmed that he has received the writ of summons for a new defamation suit filed by televangelist Dr Zakir Naik. In response to the legal action, Ramasamy has instructed his legal team to prepare a formal response to the matter. This marks the second defamation suit Dr Zakir Naik has initiated against Ramasamy within a three-month period.
Receipt of Legal Documentation Confirmed

P. Ramasamy publicly acknowledged on December 30 that he had been served with the writ of summons. The legal documents were formally served by Messrs Akberdin & Co, the law firm representing Dr Zakir Naik.
Legal Representation Secured for Response

Following the confirmation of receiving the writ, P. Ramasamy has taken immediate steps to address the lawsuit. He has directed his lawyers to proceed with formulating a response to the claims made against him in this latest legal challenge.
Allegations Stem from Comments on LTTE Revival

The current lawsuit is reportedly based on comments made by P. Ramasamy that were published by The Malaysian Insight on November 8. In an article titled “DAP leader accuses Zakir camp of ‘faking’ Tamil Tigers revival,” Ramasamy alleged that supporters of Dr Zakir Naik were disseminating misinformation. These claims suggested a fabricated movement to revive the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), a group Ramasamy stated had been defunct for a decade.
