'Dragon queen' fumes over buying names charge, to file police report

The freelance programmer, who implicated a woman known online as 'Ratu Naga' (Dragon Queen), in his claim concerning selling names for the Citizens' Declaration, appears to have incurred her wrath.

In a Facebook post, the woman warned: "He's asking for it…"

"(He thinks) I will remain silent? No, let me fight back," she said in response to Azharuddin Othman's statutory declaration (SD), which was revealed at a press conference this afternoon.

Claiming to have been slandered, 'Ratu Naga' said she wanted to meet the person who accused her and make him swear that he knew her.

It is learned that Ratu Naga, who was identified as Ema in the SD, would file a police report on the matter tomorrow.

In February, Ema, whose real name is Syarul Ema Rena Abu Samah, was charged under the Communications and Multimedia Act for posting an alleged defamatory status against Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak on the Facebook account Ratu Naga.

In his SD, Azharuddin, who hails from Terengganu, claimed that Ema promised him RM5,000 in return for 900,000 names from his database for the Citizens' Declaration online petition.

The names were purportedly from a list that was made available to all political parties during the 13th general election, which also contained MyKad numbers.

However, the programmer claimed that he was only paid RM1,000.

Recently, former premier Dr Mahathir Mohamad announced that more than one million signatures had been collected since the Citizens’ Declaration was launched two months ago.

The signatures are supposed to be submitted to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong.

The Citizens' Declaration is aimed at forcing the resignation of Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak.
