Rahayu Mahzam plans legal action over academic's 'untrue' post
The Straits Times
|October 19, 2024
Minister of State for Digital Development and Information and Health Rahayu Mahzam said on Oct 18 that she is seeking legal advice, and intends to take action following an online post that she said "appears to be defamatory" about her role in the committee that investigated former Sengkang GRC MP Raeesah Khan for lying in Parliament.
Hours earlier, academic Donald Low had made a Facebook post commenting on evidence put before the State Courts in the ongoing trial of Workers' Party (WP) chief Pritam Singh for lying to a parliamentary committee.
The court had heard that former WP cadre Loh Pei Ying had lied about why she had redacted a text message in documents submitted to the Committee of Privileges (COP) in 2021.
Mr Low said it "looks like the COP got it wrong" in its case against Singh, as its case is built on two witnesses, including Ms Loh, "who have turned out to be not credible".
