It was an honest mistake, says Rewcastle-Brown over book passage


KUALA LUMPUR: Clare Rewcastle-Brown, who is being sued by the Sultanah of Terengganu Sultanah Nur Zahirah over an allegedly defamatory statement in her book - “The Sarawak Report-The Inside 1MDB Expose” - told the High Court here that it was an honest mistake on her part when writing that passage in 2018.

The 63-year-old editor of Sarawak Report who testified via video conferencing from London, said that passage was from her recollection of reading the news report years ago in 2010 where, fugitive businessman Low Taek Jho or Jho Low, mentioned how he came to know the Sultan of Terengganu.
