00:00Khairi Jamaluddin demanded a compensation of RM2 million from a lawyer
00:07in connection with the statement in the accusation of inciting slander regarding his vaccination status.
00:12Judge Abdul Rashid Ismail told the Supreme Court today,
00:16Rashid Alwi released the slanderous accusation on his social media to defend Khairi,
00:21who at that time was responsible for running the country's COVID-19 vaccination program.
00:26In addition, the lawyer, who is also known as Ustaz Abu Syafiq,
00:30directly referred to Khairi in his statement,
00:33including checking his social media account.
00:36Abdul Rashid said the lawyer did not regret it,
00:39but even apologized cynically to Khairi after the court documents were delivered to him.
00:45Khairi's claim, Rashid's statement, hindered the government's efforts to contain COVID-19.
00:51The hearing was continued without Rashid's presence,
00:54even though Khairi's lawyer told him about the incident.
