Ex-Queen wants publisher made bankrupt

KUALA LUMPUR: A former Raja Permaisuri Agong has initiated legal action against a publisher in a High Court to declare him as a bankrupt.

She is attempting to recover over RM2mil in damages and interests which she won against the publisher and his son in another civil case in Temerloh.

Permaisuri Siti Aishah Abdul Rahman, 45, has filed a creditor’s petition for the purpose.

In the petition, the former queen named publisher Syed Hussien Al­­wee, 75, as the sole judgment debtor.

Syed Hussien, popularly known as Pak Habib Syed Hussien Al-Attas, has written many political books.

In her court papers, the former queen said the judgment of the Temerloh court had not been stayed and she did not hold any security over his assets for the payment of the award.

The court has set Dec 20 for the hearing of the petition.
