WikiLeaks: Anwar plans to sue Dr Mahathir, media

KUALA LUMPUR: Opposition Leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim will file a suit against former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad for his comments on the WikiLeaks cable controversy.
When contacted Tuesday, Anwar's lawyer Sankara Nair confirmed that Anwar would be filing a suit against Dr Mahathir and that they were still gathering further information for "possible suits against several other individuals and certain newspapers.
"There are no further details at the moment.
"We are checking the authenticity of The Sun-Herald story which was published in Australia as our initial investigations show that their story was not based on any WikiLeaks story," he said Tuesday.
When asked if Anwar would also be filing a suit against Singapore’s Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew, he replied: "Until now, there have been no instructions from my client to sue Lee Kuan Yew."
However, he added that he was checking on certain facts in Australia, and would then advice his client accordingly.
He also said that they had contacted the Singaporean Deputy High Commissioner, and were still awaiting a response.
"I will be writing in officially tomorrow (Wednesday) asking for a response," he said.

tunku : he just lost a case with cost against Tun Mahathir recently and still trying his luck again.the actual reason he want to sue Tun and the medias is that the court will issue a gag order on his sodomy trial and no one is allowed to talk it outside court.this way he will be secured and not being worried of more his secret comes out openly.i wonder why most of the muslim lawyers are quitting from his defense team.is there a clear sign to them? keep suing anwar, you ended up paying all the costs.
