The High Court in Kuala Lumpur today fixed Sept 10 to 12 for the trial of Anwar Ibrahim’s RM10 million defamation suit against Deputy Education Minister Dr Wee Ka Siong for allegedly uttering defamatory words.
Judicial Commissioner Rosilah Yop set the date after meeting with Anwar’s counsel J Leela and Ben Chan for Wee, when the case came up for case management.
On April 18, 2008, Anwar filed the suit claiming that Wee had uttered defamatory words during the latter’s campaign at a ceramah in the Machap by-election in 2007.
He said that defamation words were contained in an article entitled ‘Parties at their last leg of campaigning’ which was posted on the Malaysiakini website.
Anwar contended that the defamatory words by Wee were intentional and used in bad faith.
