WIWA... Court case
While I was away ( WIWA )...
I was in South Korea when the proceeding of the defamation suit filed by The NSTP and Others against me was up for hearing in chambers on March 6.
My barrister Haris Ibrahim, and solicitor Balan Nair of Messrs Thomas Philip, represented me in my absence.
I was informed that both parties -- my lawyers and the plaintiffs' -- have mutually agreed to take another date pending the perusal of the amended Statement of Claims and the counsel’s decision on the position of our application to strike out of the suit, and to set aside the ex-parte injunction against me.
March 4, I announced in this blog that my lawyers have since been served an amended Statement of Claims from the plaintiffs' lawyers shortly before the Lunar New Year.
The next date for my case will be April 24, twenty-two days after Rocky's round scheduled for April 2.
As such, the date of next hearing on April 23 as reported in Sin Chew Daily of March 7 is incorrect.
I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to all those who have been so kind to have sent me SMS, emails and left messages in my blog during my absence. I was in Seoul on assignment, and the schedule was so packed that I didn't have time to respond to each and everyone of them, and to update the blog.
Thank you, once again, for being concerned with my wellbeing. I am confident I shall prevail and blog on as per normal.
