Azmin wrong to involve Anwar, PKR in suit, say voters

[superadmin]

KUALA LUMPUR: Ten voters in Mohamed Azmin Ali’s Gombak constituency who alleged that he had breached his fiduciary duties as their MP have applied to strike out part of his defence for including Anwar Ibrahim’s alleged sexual misconduct and practice of nepotism in PKR.

In their application filed by Messrs Yohendra Nadarajan at the High Court here yesterday, they said that these issues did not disclose a reasonable defence against their case and were irrelevant.

Further, the voters said, they did not arise from statements filed in their statement of claim last year.

“Paragraphs 13 to 20 of the defence are statements which are outrageous, degrading in nature and are done with the intention to paint a bad picture, simply to prejudice a party that is not named in this suit,” they said in reference to Anwar.
