KUALA LUMPUR: Perkasa President Ibrahim Ali has issued a letter of demand dated Monday to Wong Chun Wai of the Star.
The letter of demand, issued by Messrs. Adnan Sharida & Associates on Ibrahim’s behalf, is on a “mind-boggling spin” published in the Star on November 2.
The letter demands that Wong, within 14 days, undertakes to not publish further articles of the nature complained about; provide a written statement retracting the article and/or statements in the article; and pay damages in the amount of RM 500,000 “for baseless defamatory allegations”.
In the event of failure to comply with the demands within the stipulated time, the letter warns that Ibrahim will initiate proceedings against Wong for injunctive relief and damages without further reference.
Briefly, the letter claims that the “burn Bibles” remarks attributed to Ibrahim was directed at Malay students of SMK Jelutong in Penang who had allegedly received the Bible with the word Allah and Jawi script.
The letter concedes that Ibrahim only advised the students concerned and/or their parents in January last year to burn such copies of the Bible.
The letter also points out that the Attorney General has since cleared Ibrahim of committing any offence related to his remarks on burning Bibles.
