Ongkili lodges report against Raja Petra, writer
(NST) – Datuk Dr Maximus Ongkili yesterday lodged a report against Malaysia Today editor Raja Petra Kamarudin over two articles posted on the website.
Ongkili claimed the two postings, on Monday and Tuesday, were defamatory.
"I did what was necessary. I've made a police report against the editor and writer of the posts," he said after launching Petrosains' dinosaur exhibition, DinoTrek 2, at Suria KLCC.
Ongkili said a police investigation officer from Putrajaya recorded his statement at his office at 8.30am.
The first post was a summary of a special report, which was published a day later.
But it was the second posting, a special report by a writer who uses the pen name Deep Throat Sabah, which detailed Ongkili's alleged misappropriation of ministry funds and alleged dalliance with a mistress.
"They're (the posts) all fabricated and defamatory."
Raja Petra, 59, is facing three counts of criminal defamation over a statutory declaration on the murder of Mongolian model Altantuya Shaariibuu.
