Will Hamidah Osman sue Syed Saddiq over bribery claims?

Question

Accepted Answer

Hamidah Osman is seeking legal advice regarding potential legal action against Syed Saddiq over bribery claims.

Datuk Hamidah Osman is consulting with her lawyer to determine whether to pursue legal action against Syed Saddiq Abdul Rahman, the youth chief of Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (PPBM). This move follows Syed Saddiq's public assertion that Hamidah was offered a bribe to leave the party. Hamidah has vehemently denied these allegations, labelling them as baseless.
Legal Consultation Underway
Hamidah Osman plans to meet with her legal counsel to explore the possibility of initiating a lawsuit against Syed Saddiq. She has explicitly stated that she received no offer to leave PPBM and has denied any intention of rejoining Umno. This consultation is a direct response to claims made by the PPBM Youth chief.
Denial of Bribery Allegations
Syed Saddiq had alleged that he was offered RM5 million and a scholarship to an Oxford University, valued at RM400,000, in exchange for attacking prominent PPBM leaders, including Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, and Datuk Seri Mukhriz Mahathir. He further implicated Hamidah Osman, suggesting she was also a target of similar bribery attempts aimed at destabilising the party.
Past Disagreements and Resignation
The relationship between Hamidah Osman and Syed Saddiq was reportedly strained during her tenure with PPBM. Hamidah herself had previously indicated that Syed Saddiq's conduct was a contributing factor to her decision to resign from the party last month. Prior to her involvement with PPBM, Hamidah held significant positions within Umno, serving as the women's information chief and heading the Gopeng division before leaving in 2015.
