Sanusi refuses to apologise, claims Berjaya case 'still developing'

Caretaker Kedah menteri besar Sanusi Mohd Nor has claimed that more documents will be revealed in relation to his claim of impropriety between Berjaya Group founder Vincent Tan and Selangor caretaker menteri besar Amirudin Shari over the Klang River cleaning project.

This follows the end of a deadline set by Tan in a letter of demand for Sanusi (above) to publicly apologise and pay RM200 million in compensation over what his lawyers described as “plainly false, untrue, unwarranted, unsubstantiated, malicious, and mischievous statements” against their client.

“No (apology). The case is still developing and documents are still being revealed.

“We will see in these next one or two days, no further comments,” said Sanusi as quoted by Utusan Malaysia today.

In the letter issued through the law firm Pierre Chuah & Associates, Tan’s lawyers yesterday demanded Sanusi retract his claims and make a written undertaking to cease repeating them.

The lawyers also said they have Tan’s instructions to proceed to take legal action against Sanusi if he did not accede to their demands.

Sanusi previously told Malaysiakini that he will prove his claims in court.

In a speech during a Perikatan Nasional ceramah in Jitra, Kedah, on Aug 2, Sanusi claimed that Selangor could incur losses of up to RM180 million because of the Selangor Maritime Gateway project.

He also questioned how Tan could acquire a significant stake in a Menteri Besar Selangor Incorporated (MBI-Selangor)-owned firm.

Both Amirudin and Berjaya Land chief executive officer Syed Ali Shahul Hameed have denied Sanusi’s claims and similarly threatened legal action.
