Bring it on, Wan Fayhsal tells Rafizi over defamation suit

Bersatu Youth chief Wan Ahmad Fayhsal Wan Ahmad Kamal has told PKR deputy president Rafizi Ramli to “bring it on” in response to the latter’s plan to initiate legal action for defamation.

In a brief post on social media, Wan Fayhsal said he was willing to be taken to court over the matter.

“I am eagerly waiting for the summons letter (LOD) from your lawyer, Rafizi.

“Are you dragging this to court? Go ahead!

“May we expose all your fake reform practices. I say: Bring. It. On!” he said.

Yesterday, Economy Minister Rafizi (above, left) said he had approached his counsel on the matter, alleging that Wan Fayhsal falsely claimed he misused government funds to pay cybertroopers and support online trolls.

He emphasised the seriousness of the allegations, stating this is the first time he has resorted to legal action.

“I have never sued anyone before, but YB Machang’s defamation is clear-cut, and the case will proceed in court,” he said, referencing Wan Fayhsal’s post on X.

In the post, the youth chief accused Rafizi of diverting ministry funds to sponsor cybertroopers for political purposes.

Wan Fayhsal also shared what appeared to be a leaked slide from an account named @RichardPower_, which allegedly outlined a campaign strategy to counter “negative perceptions” of the government.
