00:00A group of Malaysians who filed a RM60 million class-action lawsuit against Prime Minister
00:06Anwar Ibrahim, the World Health Organization and 23 others over alleged health complications
00:11and deaths linked to COVID-19 vaccinations have withdrawn their case.
00:18High Court Judge Justice Raja Ahmad Mohsenuddin Shah Raja Mohsen ordered the plaintiffs to
00:23pay the defendants RM8,000 in costs but allowed them to refile the suit.
00:29Their lawyer, Zainuddin Abu Bakar, said they withdrew the case to reassess their legal
00:33strategy and refine the list of defendants.
00:36Raja Ahmad had previously told the plaintiffs to consider refiling due to a lack of scientific
00:41evidence, urging them to thoroughly evaluate their facts and evidence before initiating
00:46any legal action.
00:49The plaintiffs alleged that they were adversely affected by the government's negligent and
00:53erroneous public health policy mandating vaccination during the COVID-19 pandemic.
00:59They also demanded the cancellation of the national COVID-19 immunization program and
01:04approval for alternative treatments like ivermectin and colchicine.
01:09The lawsuit originally named multiple high-profile figures, including WHO Director-General Tedros
01:14Ethanam Ghebreyesus, former Prime Ministers Mukhideen Yassin and Ismail Sabryakob, and
01:20former Health Minister Khairi Jamaluddin.
