00:00PAS MP Zulkifli Ismail and the Islamic Party's mouthpiece, Haraka, have apologized to Juanita
00:06PKR chief, Fadlina Siddiq, for defaming her in 2023.
00:11The Jassin MP read out a statement of apology to Fadlina before Sessions Court judge Hilmiah
00:17Yusof, who also ordered for RM15,000 in cost to be paid to the Nibong Tabal MP.
00:23Zulkifli told the court that after reviewing the statements, they acknowledged the remarks
00:27had given rise to various interpretations and caused public misunderstanding towards Fadlina,
00:33thereby affecting her reputation. He added that schools had in fact been permitted to chant the
00:39Tagbir and recite the Qunat Nazila during Palestine Solidarity Week and apologized to Fadlina for the
00:46statements. On November 5, 2023, Zulkifli alleged that the Education Ministry had banned the Tagbir
00:53and recitation of Islamic prayers during a Palestine Solidarity Week held in
00:57schools nationwide. Fadlina, who is Education Minister, then sued Zulkifli, Gallery Media
01:03Serbanika Sanjian Berhard, and Haraka's then-Chief Editor Mazlan Juso. Zulkifli also told the court
01:10he and Haraka agreed to settle the dispute with Fadlina as there were more important issues of
01:16national interest that required attention at this time.
