00:25had seriously damaged his reputation.
00:28He said the allegations included claims of corruption, abuse of position, misuse of public
00:33resources, involvement in unlawful clandestine operations, and the existence of so-called
00:39safe houses, allegedly holding large sums of cash.
00:43Farid Dulathurat said his lawyers had issued Badrul a letter of demand, which is pending
00:48service, and that he intends to take the matter to court.
