Whistleblower website Sarawak Report has raised over GB£30,000 (RM160,000) for its legal fund to fend itself from a suit by PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang.

The amount was raised in just three days through crowdfunding platform Crowd Justice. At the time of writing, GB£30,452 has been raised through 615 contributors.

In April, Abdul Hadi filed a defamation suit against Sarawak Report editor Clare Rewcatle-Brown at the High Court in London.

Abdul Hadi sued the writer over a Sarawak Report article which suggested that Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak had channelled RM90 million to PAS, an allegation which the party denies.
