The High Court in Kuala Lumpur today ordered former television personality Ras Adiba Mohd Radzi to file her statement of defence regarding the RM3.2 million suit filed against her by a company director, Nik Fauzi Nik Hussein, before July 6.

Senior Assistant Registrar Aaziha Mujahid Lee set the date in chambers in the presence of lawyer Mohd Haziq Pillay, who represented Ras Adiba, and Mohammad Shafie Afendi, who represented Nik Fauzi.

Speaking to reporters, Mohd Haziq said the defence needed more time to file their statement of defence as they had to refer to the company’s contract with Petronas.

Nik Fauzi, the director of Inki Plas Holding Sdn Bhd, filed the writ of summons on May 3 and in his statement of claim, said that he held 65 percent of the shares in the company and had agreed to sell the entire portion to Ras Adiba.

He claimed that Ras Adiba had the authority and control over the structuring of the company, which was the basis for her to buy the shares.

Nik Fauzi, however, also claimed that Ras Adiba had neglected and failed to help reinforce the company, causing it to face financial difficulties.

He further claimed Ras Adiba should have settled the company's liabilities totalling RM3.2 million but failed to do so.

Apart from compensation of RM3,288,172, Nik FAuzi is seeking a declaration that Ras Adiba had breached the share sale agreement dated July 24, 2006, interest at four percent per annum, costs and other relief.
