PETALING JAYA: Primary Industries Minister Teresa Kok is demanding for Jaringan Melayu Malaysia (JMM) president Datuk Azwanddin Hamzah Ariffin Abu Bakar to apologise and pay RM30mil in damages. Kok is making the claim following a speech he made at a rally on Tuesday (Dec 25), which allegedly contained defamatory remarks against Kok. Her legal representatives S. N. Nair and Partners gave Azwanddin seven days to comply with Kok’s demands before legal proceedings are initiated. Azwanddin had claimed that Kok was linked to the developer involved in the Seafield Sri Maha Mariamman temple riots issue. Kok had demanded that Azwanddin immediately retract his statement and for his apology to be published in newspapers or media of her choice.
