SHAH ALAM – Selangor Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari has filed a lawsuit against Kedah Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor over allegations the latter had made on the Sg Klang cleaning project.
Amirudin, 43, as the plaintiff filed the suit through Tetuan Haijan Omar at the Shah Alam High Court here yesterday, naming Muhammad Sanusi, 49, as the defendant.
On August 9, Amirudin filed a notice of claim against Muhammad Sanusi and demanded that he apologise within 48 hours for his defamatory statement he made in a speech in Jitra, earlier this month.
The notice of claim stated that Muhammad Sanusi has slandered the Selangor Pakatan Harapan (PH) chairman and said that Berjaya Group founder Tan Sri Vincent Tan wanted to implement a RM10 billion project on Sg Klang and that the businessman would receive 600 acres of land for free.
