- 5 years ago
PKR president Anwar Ibrahim said he would leave it to the police to take appropriate action against author Yahaya Ismail, who threatened to publish a book disparaging Anwar, if he was not paid RM400,000.
Confirming that he had received the threat from the author of the book titled 'Mengapa Anwar Tak Boleh Jadi PM' (Why Anwar Cannot Become PM), the Port Dickson MP said a police report on the matter had been lodged yesterday against the writer by Kedah PKR Leadership Council chairperson Johari Abdul.
Anwar was speaking to reporters after attending a Hari Raya Fellowship Dinner organised by the Malaysia-India Business Council (MIBC) in Petaling Jaya last night, which was attended by some 200 guests.
