Sanusi Prepared to Face Legal Action from Amirudin Over Defamation Claims

Caretaker Kedah Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor has indicated his readiness to contest defamation claims in court brought by his Selangor counterpart, Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari. Sanusi stated that he has not yet received any formal legal notice from Amirudin but is prepared to respond should legal proceedings commence, asserting he possesses his own documentation regarding the matter.
Amirudin Initiates Legal Action

Selangor Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari has announced his intention to pursue legal action against Sanusi for defamation. These allegations stem from remarks made by Sanusi during a Perikatan Nasional event in Kedah, which Amirudin has publicly denied and labelled as defamatory.
Sanusi Awaits Formal Notification and Will Present Evidence

Sanusi has indicated that he is awaiting the formal delivery of legal documents from Amirudin. He also stated his intention to present evidence in court to substantiate his claims concerning the Selangor Maritime Gateway (SMG) project.
Berjaya Land Denies Allegations and Pursues Legal Recourse

Berjaya Land Berhad has issued a strong denial of the allegations made by Sanusi, characterising them as false and defamatory. The company has stated its intention to lodge a police report and initiate its own legal proceedings in response to Sanusi's statements.
Clarification on Land Deals and Joint Ventures

Berjaya Land clarified that contrary to Sanusi's claims, Menteri Besar Selangor Incorporated (MBI) did not sell a 55 per cent stake in its subsidiary to Berjaya Land. Instead, MBI's subsidiary, Landasan Lumayan Sdn Bhd, formed a joint venture, Landasan Lumayan Berjaya Sdn Bhd (LLBSB), with Berjaya Hartanah Berhad, holding 45 per cent and 55 per cent stakes respectively. This joint venture focuses on affordable housing projects to fund the SMG project. Berjaya Land also refuted claims of RM180 million in losses for the Selangor government or the free alienation of 600 acres of land worth RM10 billion, stating that the government approved 103.6 acres for alienation to LLBSB, for which Berjaya Land is required to raise funds to pay the premium.
