“Apart from the six farmers whose farmlands were flattened on Oct 24 and 25, there are 200 others in Tambun at risk of being evicted because their land has been alienated to developers or government-linked companies.” - PSM chairperson Dr Michael Jeyakumar Devaraj.

COMMENT | In Perak State Development Corporation’s (PKNP) statement of claim against PSM chairperson Dr Michael Jeyakumar Devaraj and the party, alleging that they defamed PKNP, there is an extremely strange component as reported in the press:

“The plaintiff, who noted that it takes pride in its socio-economic development, claimed that it has received public backlash, as well as lost the trust of its employees which impacted employee morale, and lost its competitive edge and advantage over other corporations in Perak.”
