RPK reveals SD alleging affair after Muhyiddin cries slander
Blogger Raja Petra Kamaruddin has released a statutory declaration (SD) by a man who claimed that an affair occurred between his estranged wife and former deputy prime minister Muhyiddin Yassin.
This is after Muhyiddin yesterday said the allegation, raised by Raja Petra, was slander.
The SD was by former deputy public prosecutor Stanley Clement Augustin, which claimed that his wife Nika Gee Siew Yee had a relationship with Muhyiddin since the latter was Johor menteri besar.
The document published on Raja Petra’s blog Malaysia Today also claimed that Muhyiddin’s wife was aware of this affair and had put a ban on Gee.
The SD further claimed that Gee met Muhyiddin overseas and would receive financial and material benefit from the latter.
Raja Petra said since the anti-Najib camp including Muhyiddin had said that Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak should sue if allegations of corruption against him were untrue, Muhyiddin should likewise sue over this allegation of an affair.
“The husband is telling us in that SD that this is what she confessed.
“So if Muhyiddin wants to deny this and wants to sue anyone who alleges that he is having an affair with someone’s wife then he must sue Nika Gee.
“The only way for Muhyiddin to clear his name would be to sue. There is no other way,” he said.
Yesterday, Muhyiddin denied the allegations, calling it unfounded.
“The wild accusations made against me by Raja Petra Kamaruddin in a series of entries in his blog Malaysia Today several days ago are totally unfounded and ill-intentioned.
“All the allegations are malicious slander and spread only to destroy my integrity and smells of dirty politics, what more being done in this holy month of Ramadan,” he said.
The SD, dated Dec 7, 2015, is amid divorce proceedings between Augustin and Gee.
When contacted, Augustin declined to comment.
Unrestrained power in your hands
For almost 20 years, Malaysiakini has stayed true to the cause of providing the Malaysian public with the truth. We believe that with unadulterated information, the people will obtain power to make informed decisions.
Decisions which lead to a healthy, robust nation - ours!
Keep the truth alive. Support your robust, independent media. You have the unrestrained power to do so.
In news we trust
A media which is sustained by the backing and support of its people is ensured its independence. The prolonged fight for justice with the support of the public has made it possible for Malaysiakini to continue its operations for over 20 years.
Who says it's not our fault?
We aren’t trained to take responsibility.
Everytime we observe an injustice - and choose to keep mum - the prevalence of injustice becomes our fault.
Astute journalism paves the way for the public to be continuously furnished with the fastidious truth. You are continuously empowered to act and to uphold the integrity of the nation.
Your say is the most crucial say!
THE MOST COURAGEOUS ACT STILL IS TO THINK FOR YOURSELF. Aloud.
HAVE A SAY ON MALAYSIAKINI’S YOURSAY.
The Rakyat owns Malaysiakini
We choose to take a risk on independent media because we believe that only through independent reporting can one be NOT beholden to the interest of businesses or organisations. This allows us to really pursue the truth - aggressively.
Malaysiakini.
Independent for 20 years.
You know when it gets real
Listen to your gut.
You know when it gets real.
Truth really matters.
Malaysiakini.
Going beyond expectations.
The victorious people
In the light of holding the truth to power, Malaysiakini will continue to uphold its mission of providing credible news to its discerning public. Your support for Malaysiakini is always treasured as a testament of innate nationalism. Your victory is our history.
Quietly. Effectively. Says it all. Malaysiakini.
Speaking truth to power
When we embarked on this journey 20 years ago, we knew we would face intimidation, harassment, raids, arrests and perhaps even jail terms. We got into this venture with our eyes wide open.
The main reason we have survived this long - when many others have folded - is partly because we are prudent in our finances. But while we may be tightfisted in our budgeting, we do not hold back when it comes to speaking truth to power and holding power to account. And certainly, this new administration will not stop us from continuing to do so.
Serving humanity
As servants of this nation, we at Malaysiakini applaud the continuous engagement of the public in affairs of the state.
You make Malaysiakini what it is.
You make Malaysia what it is.
The future is moving in
Stay curious. Stay with Malaysiakini. Our energy is to meet your demands. As the future moves in, let us help you be in time for it.
