Asyraf to sue Bersatu MP over claims linked to Mara funds
Mara chairman Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki says Bersatu's Mas Ermieyati Samsudin has been levelling a series of allegations against him. (Bernama pic) PETALING JAYA : Mara chairman Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki has initiated a legal suit against Bersatu's Mas Ermieyati Samsudin over claims linked to the agency's funds. In a Facebook post, Asyraf said he was initially reluctant to entertain such claims, but Mas Ermieyati had gone overboard with her allegations. 'See you in court YB Mas.' Asyraf also said an opposition MP in Melaka had been levelling a series of allegations against him, including accusing him of not funding technical and vocational education and training (TVET) students. He said he had no problem with criticism, such as taking issue with a non-executive chairman visiting Mara institutions without informing the management. 'But once they start slandering the institution to smear its image, I have no choice but to sue for defamation,' he said.
