The former MIED CEO is considering resolving the matter out of court.
KUALA LUMPUR: Former Maju Institute of Educational Development (MIED) chief executive officer P Chithirakala is considering to settle defamation suits against former MIC president S Samy Vellu and two others.
Her counsel, Prakash Lachimanan, told reporters that his client was considering to resolve the matter out of court.
“I will meet her (Chithirakala) next week to get further instructions over the matter,” he said.
Prakash said High Court senior assistant registrar Ahmad Khairul Farhi Yusob set Oct 21 for case management of the suit after meeting him in chambers today.
He also mentioned the case on behalf of the three defendants’ counsel.
On Nov 4, 2009, Chithirakala and her businessman husband, KVasu, filed three suits against Samy Vellu, his wife R Indrani and the Tamil Nesan daily.
In the first suit against Samy Vellu, Chithirakala and her husband claimed that he (Samy Vellu) had made defamatory remarks related to MIED insurance on March 8, 2009, which were carried by all three Tamil dailies – Tamil Nesan, Makkal Osai and Malaysian Nanban.
Chithirakala said the remarks meant that she and her husband had conspired to cheat MIED, the education arm of MIC, and the Indian community.
In the second suit against Indrani, Chithirakala claimed that the MIC chief’s wife defamed her in an interview with the MalaysiaKini news portal on Oct 1 this year, which was also carried in full by Makkal Osai on Oct 3, 2009.
Chithirakala in her third suit against the publisher of the Tamil daily, Tamil Nesan (M) Sdn Bhd, and its editor-in-chief, K Padmanabhan, claimed that they had published defamatory articles on Oct 1, 2009.
She is seeking general and special damages in all three suits.
