Tok Pa obtains injunction against Husam and three others
By M.MAGESWARI
KUALA LUMPUR: Former Cabinet minister Datuk Seri Mustapa Mohamed has obtained an injunction order in a libel and conspiracy suit to stop PAS's Datuk Husam Musa and three others from defaming him.
High Court judge Justice Nor Bee Ariffin issued an interim injunction until disposal of the matter, said Mustapa's lead counsel Datuk Seri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah.
Speaking to reporters on Friday, Muhammad Shafee said that Justice Nor Bee set July 17 for inter-parte injunction hearing.
The defendants' counsel Azhana Mohd Khairuddin said his clients now want to reply to all the affidavits filed by the plaintiff over his injunction application.
In his lawsuit, Mustapa sued PAS vice-president Husam, PAS, its secretary-general Datuk Mustafa Ali, editor-in- chief of Harakahdaily.net Zulkifli Sulong and its editor Azmi Yusof for allegedly implying that he was involved in fraudulent activities.
He said that Husam spoke at a political gathering named "Pelancaran Kekal K" organised by PAS on March 23, which was held at Machang expo site in Kelantan defaming him.
In his statement of claim filed on April 22, Mustapa said that the defamatory words had meant that he abused his power for his own personal gain as well as other heads of Umno.
He said it had also implied that he indulged in fraudulent activities such as cheating people, wrongly allocating shares in Felda Global Ventures Holdings and giving them freely to Umno politicians without any payment consideration.
He is seeking damages for libel, conspiracy and malicious falsehood.
Among others, he is also asking for an injunction to restrain the defendants or their agents from acting in furtherance of their conspiracy by publishing untruth about him in the Harakah newspaper or its website or any other publication in the same manner.
