I have instructed my lawyers to institute legal proceedings against Utusan Malaysia for recycling the defamatory lies of the booklet “The Equity Report (CEC Election Fraud)” of fictitious “Father Augustus Chen”.
In a statement on August 5, 2013, I said:
In my media statements in the following two days, I described the fictitious “Father Augustus Chen” as an “evil genius” for cramming and packing some 100 lies and falsehoods into a 12-page booklet, and I gave him seven days to surface and prove that he is not phantom.
The seven-day period for “Father Augustus Chan” to surface have long come and gone, and no “Father Augustus Chen” has appeared.
Nobody expected the fictitious “Father Augustus Chen” to surface as whoever steps forward to claim authorship of the scurrilous publication “The Equity Report” must not only be prepared to face multiple mega-defamation suits but criminal proceedings as well for the mountain of malicious and defamatory lies in the booklet.
Despite repeated DAP denials of the defamatory lies and falsehoods in the booklet by the fictitious “Father Augustus Chen”, Mingguan Malaysia yesterday carried a report by its reporter Kasthuri Jeevendran recycling the defamatory and malicious lies and falsehoods by the fictitious “Father Augustus Chen”.
The fictitious “Father Augustus Chen” made among others, two false and baseless allegations to justify RoS and Umno/BN government action against the DAP, firstly that “753 delegates (mostly Indians)” were not notified of the DAP Congress in Penang last December and secondly, that there were “547 phantom delegates (mostly from Penang)” who voted at the DAP Congress, as well as malicious and defamatory allegations against DAP leaders.
There is not an iota of truth in these malicious and defamatory allegations against the DAP and DAP leaders.
I have therefore asked my lawyers to institute legal proceedings against Utusan Malaysia for recycling the defamatory lies of the booklet “The Equity Report (CEC Election Fraud)” of the fictitious “Father Augustus Chen”.
