PETALING JAYA: A defamation suit is looming over PKR vice-president Rafizi Ramli amid his political spat with former prime minister Najib Razak over the financial problems of Sapura Energy Berhad.
Rafizi had been issued a letter of demand for an apology and retraction of three articles containing allegedly libellous statements about Sapura group president and chief executive officer Shahril Shamsuddin.
The deadline for Rafizi to comply had expired last Tuesday and a defamation suit is expected to be filed in court by Shahril’s lawyers.
Shahril took offence to a claim by Rafizi that Sapura Energy’s majority shareholders, led by Shahril, had taken out a total of RM1.33 billion, made up of RM1.1 billion in salaries and the rest in other payments and dividends.
