Nallakarupan ordered to furnish details to Anwar

(Bernama) - The High Court here yesterday ordered Malaysian Indian United Party (MIUP) president Datuk S Nallakarupan to furnish details concerning his allegation that Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim had received RM60 million from him and also from gaming company Magnum Corporation Bhd.

Judge Datin Zabariah Yusof made the decision after rejecting Nallakarupan's appeal to overturn an order by the High Court's assistant registrar on Aug 28 granting Anwar's application to get the details.

Zabariah, who made the decision in chambers, ordered Nallakarupan to furnish the details as sought by Anwar, that is who gave the monies, when and where they were given, within 14 days from tomorrow.

Bernama was told of this development in the case by counsel S N Nair and Wan Anuar Wan Syahadat, who are acting for Anwar.

Nallakarupan, who is represented by counsel S Murali, was sued by Anwar, who is also opposition leader and PKR adviser, over an article titled "Anwar terima RM60 juta" ("Anwar received RM60 million") that was published in Mingguan Malaysia and Sinar Harian in August 2008.

Anwar claimed that Nallakarupan had made a false allegation that he received that money.
