(Free Malaysia Today) – The son-in-law of Prime Minister Najib Razak has threatened to take legal action against Opposition MP Mohd Ariff Sabri for making “malicious” and “baseless” allegations about him in a recent article.
According to a report in The Star Online, Daniyar Kesikbayev’s law firm Messrs Noorhajran Mohd Noor has demanded the article be taken down immediately and an apology issued by Ariff Sabri within the next 48 hours, failing which legal action will be taken against him.
