Media statement about the article of Pisau.net

NGEH KOO HAM IS FOR FREEDOM OF PRESS BUT NOT THE FREEDON TO SPREAD FALSEHOOD. NGEH TO TAKE LEGAL ACTION AGAINST NEW SUNDAY TIMES AND REPORTER FOR REPORTING FALSE NEWS.

MEDIA STATEMENT

NGEH KOO HAM IS FOR FREEDOM OF PRESS BUT NOT THE FREEDON TO SPREAD FALSEHOOD. NGEH TO TAKE LEGAL ACTION AGAINST NEW SUNDAY TIMES AND REPORTER FOR REPORTING FALSE NEWS.

I have today instructed my lawyers to take legal action against Sylvia Looi Lee Phing and the News Sunday Times as no apology or correction was forthcoming from them with regard to a defamatory article titled ‘DAP is danger of losing Beruas’ written by Slyvia Looi and published by the New Sunday Times on 25/11/2012.

The said article contain many falsehoods which include the following:-

(i)                 I hardly show up in my Beruas Constituency (I stay in the Beruas Constituency and am in the Constituency almost everyday).

(ii)               I was chased away by villagers when I visited an India Estate.

(iii)             I do not attend religious events organized by temples.

The said article greatly damages my reputation as the Member of Parliament for Beruas.

They have presented me as a irresponsible Member of Parliament who does not visit my Parliamentary Constituency, does not care for my constituents and that I am a religious bigot.

I have lodged a police report against them on 20the December 2012 as they have committed an offence under Section 8A (Offence to publish false news) of the Printing Presses and Publication Act 1984 and Section 499 (Criminal Defamation) of the Penal Code.

Section 8A of the PPPA 1984 requires that the writer and the New Sunday Times to take reasonable measures to verify the truth before writing the said article.

I am in full support of press freedom but not the freedom to report false news. Media has the responsibility take reasonable measures to verify the truth of a matter before publishing it as it will cause great damage to the person(s) who is/are wrongly accused.

I felt duty bound to lodge the above said report and to take legal action against Sylvia Looi and the New Sunday Times to ensure that the public is fed with truth and not falsehood.

Pisau.net has published an article citing factual corrections, clearing me and my PR colleagues of being involved in any corrupt practice.

Media Statement by DAP Perak Chairman Ngeh Koo Ham on this 16th of January 2013 in Ipoh

1.       Pisau.net has published an article citing factual corrections, clearing me and my PR colleagues of being involved in any corrupt practice.

2.       I urge any other parties who have defamed me to follow suit as there is still room and time to clear Pakatan Rakyat and my name.

3.       I hereby extend an olive branch to Pisau.net to redeem himself byfully meeting my demands, so for the damage he has caused Pakatan Rakyat and myself can be mitigated.

4.       Pisau.net must, for the sake of the people, free himself of UMNO/BN crutches to ensure the people of Perak are not going to continue being deceived by the wrongful rule of UMNO/BN.

________________________________________________________________

The blogger who administers the website pisau.net who previously defamed, Tok Guru Nik Aziz, Dato’ Sri Nizar, YB Nga Korming and myself through wild and baseless accusations, has partially heeded to the conditions outlined in my letter of demand, through posting an article of ‘factual correction’ titled

Pembetulan Fakta Tanah Ngeh dan Nga Di Kelantan.

Pisau mendapati berlaku percanggahan fakta yang tidak tepat yang diperolehi dari sumber sebelum ini dan berasa bertanggungjawab untuk memperbetulkan demi kebenaran. 

The admittance by the blogger that his previous article being factually incorrect, is yet another piece of evidence that the allegations thrown at myself and my Pakatan Rakyat colleagues are nothing but cheap, irresponsible and repulsive political potshots. This also goes to show that my name is cleared of the previous accusations peddled by Pisau.net.

I hereby, also urge all others who have defamed me to step forward and follow what has been done Pisau.net, to clear my name and free Pakatan Rakyat from the various ridiculous, untrue and slanderous defamations.

Despite the website of Pisau.net being currently inaccessible, rendering the said article to be equally inaccessible, I appreciate the article as a response to my letter of demand. I can only assume that an interested third party whose interest is to continue hoodwinking the public is behind the locking down of Pisau.net.

The abovementioned article also further confirms our previous stand that BN, Zambry and his EXCOs are at such dire desperation, to the extent that blatantly lying in the state assembly has become the only strategy they could come up with, to divert the public’s attention from the real scandals perpetrated by themselves.

I feel it important to reiterate some of the key reasons behind my sending of a letter of demand, and consideration to file a defamation suit against Pisau.net. 

*         As state Chairman of DAP Perak; one third of the three partied coalition of Perak’s government in waiting, any form of tarnishing of my name will negatively impact the people’s opinion of Pakatan Rakyat Perak as a whole.

*         My own personal integrity as a politician and individual, which has been built over the years through my service to the Perakian people and my contribution to our nation building agenda, is at stake if the likes of Pisau.net is allowed to continue their dissemination of falsehoods and blatant lies.

*         To safeguard the prospect of a real change for Perakians; to ensure the power of the Perakians is returned to the Perakians, and to restore democracy to our beloved silver state after BN’s unlawful power grab in 2009, I feel it essential Pisau.net is called to task to face the responsibility of it’s actions.

In my letter of demand to the administrator of Pisau.net, I stipulated that within seven days upon receipt of the said letter he shall -

(i) publish a fullscreen article in the Blog; and 

(ii) make a public statement with prominence within the first 5 pages in “Berita Harian”, “The New Straits Times”, “New Sunday Times”, “The Star” and “Sin Chew Daily” (“Newspapers”) 

- wherein he shall - 

(1) completely, unconditionally and irrevocably Withdraw the Article and/or Statements; and 

(2) tender an unconditional apology to me; 

He shall give me his written assurance and undertaking that he shall not repeat, publish and cause to be repeated and published in any form - 

(i) the Article and/or Statements; and 

(ii) any statement of similar meaning, nature and/or effect as that of the Article and/or Statements; and he shall pay to me a proper and suitable sum of damages for the injury to my reputation and loss which I have suffered and continue to suffer. 

I welcome this first move to meet my demands yet, I must stress that the article on its own, is far from sufficient action for me to stop the defamation suit that I have planned to file. The above referred article is but one condition out of the several in which I have stipulated, and I believe nothing short of the full list of demands is sufficient to mitigate the damage his irresponsibility has caused.

As a Christian who is taught to forgive, I am now extending for one last time, an olive branch to Pisau.net and all others who have defamed me to right the wrongs that they have done, and to satisfy all that is listed in my letter of demand. It is clear to me, through the language of the above-referred article of correction, that he was likely to be misled by his sources and commissioners, much like most BN cybertroopers.

I hereby urge all others who have defamed me to step forward and follow what has been done Pisau.net, to clear my name and free Pakatan Rakyat from the various ridiculous, untrue and slanderous defamations.

Though it doesn’t make his actions any less irresponsible, nor does it make his article any less damaging, it gives me hope that this misdirected soul may simply just be misled by his scheming BN masters. 

It is also clear, that BN and Zambry are running out of time, ideas and political capital, as a result of Najib’s cowardice refusal to call for the dissolution of Parliament, pressing the former against the wall clutching at straws. Desperate men are borne of desperate times, desperate hearts call for desperate crimes. It is now clearer than ever that BN would now stop at nothing, including committing to heinous act of defaming their opponents with totally fabricated lies, in order to hang on to power.

I hereby stand firm on my demands, with a measure of humility in urging Pisau.net to reach out to my extended olive brand, and do what is needed as stipulated in my letter of demand and above. I urge him to do so for the sake of his own dignity, as well as for the Perakian people. The Perakian must no longer be oppressed by the wrongful rule of UMNO/BN as another article to prop up their lies and to cover up their sins, is another article denying the People of Perak of a fair, clean and just government.

Finally, I repeat my call in the state assembly, as well as press statements and conferences, for Zambry to answer the land scandals I exposed that started this debacle off in the first place. 

What is there hiding in the BN political closet with the disputed land approvals to BN cronies that is so scandalous, that Zambry had to resort to defamation and disgracing the sanctity of the state assembly in order to cover up?

NGEH KOO HAM IS FOR FREEDOM OF PRESS BUT NOT THE FREEDOM TO SPREAD FALSEHOOD. NGEH TO TAKE LEGAL ACTION AGAINST NEW SUNDAY TIMES AND REPORTER FOR REPORTING FALSE NEWS.

Freedom of press but not the freedom to spread falsehood

False news on Kelantan land orchestrated BN against Ngeh & Nga. Ngeh & Nga to proceed with legal action against Pisau.net, Encik Mohd Jeffrey Amin Bin Abdul Hamid, Berita Harian and others who defame them.

MEDIA STATEMENT

1. False news on Kelantan land orchestrated BN against Ngeh & Nga. Ngeh & Nga to proceed with legal action against Pisau.net, Encik Mohd Jeffrey Amin Bin Abdul Hamid, Berita Harian and others who defame them.
2. Pisau. Net hid under a pseudonym to report false news against Ngeh & Nga. Writer does not dare to own up, an admission his/her article is a lie.
3. Ngeh has explained, Zambry challenged to explain the land scandals exposed by Ngeh.

______________________________________________________

I would like to announce that legal actions have been commenced against pro BN blog, pisau.net, Encik Mohd Jeffrey Amin Bin Abdul Hamid and Berita Harian for reporting false news against me and YB Nga Kor Ming. Legal notices are being issued to the above said parties. Legal actions will also be taken against those who are out to defame us

Pisau.net has falsely and maliciously reported that the Kelantan State Government had awarded me and YB Nga Kor Ming 10,526 acres of land in exchange for our agreement to appoint Dato’ Seri Nizar Bin Jamaluddin to be Perak Menteri Besar in 2008.

Pisau.net blogger has used a pseudonym ‘Encik Pisau Suka Hiris’ for his/her blog to avoid his/her identity being known by others. I challenge the blogger to come out in the open and not be a coward for BN. His failure to own up is an admission that his/her article is a lie

A search has shown that Mohd Jefferey Amin Bin Abdul Hamid who publicized the false news in Pisau.net by calling the media when making a report to MACC is an executive of BN Perak Government’s State Agency, Yayasan Bina Upaya. We can see that the false accusation us is orchestrated by BN.

TV3, Utusan Malaysia and other pro BN blogs have further publicized the said false news.

Our lawyers will be instructed to act according when further evidence have been gathered.

We can see very clearly the source of the false news was totally unreliable as the writer himself/herself does not dare to own up to what he/she has written. Therefore, the subsequent reports of the said article were also totally unreliable.

I have explained in a very transparent manner my involvement in the Kelantan reforestation project. The people demands that Dato’ Seri Zambry Bin Abdul Kadir the BN Perak Menteri Besar also to explain in a transparent manner the following land scandals:-

1. Why 68,503 acres of land were approved at only about RM375.00 an acre without open tender? State the list of those who were awarded the lands.
2. Why 6 acres of prime land in the centre of Sitiawan town was awarded to Kinta Berkat Sdn Bhd to develop without open tender. What are the terms of the award?
3. 15.0 acres of prime land in Mukim Lumut approved to Reality Axis Sdn Bhd without open tender.
4. 32.07 acres of prime land (lot 6593) in Mukim Kamunting approved to YBU Holding Sdn  Bhd without open tender.
5. 147.84 acres of prime land in Mukim Lumut approved to be developed by Kinta Berkat Sdn Bhd without open tender.
6. 58 acres of town land in Bandar Lumut approved  to J & S Holdings Sdn Bhd without open tender.
7. 40 acres of prime land at Perak Tengah (Sri Iskandar) approved to Toyo Chemicals Sdn Bhd without open tender.

Call on BN Perak Government to cancel the approval of prime lands to cronies and UMNO/BN related companies as it is still not too late in law.

MEDIA STATEMENT

1. Call on BN Perak Government to cancel the approval of prime lands to cronies and UMNO/BN related companies as it is still not too late in law.
2. Dato’ Seri Zambry Bin Abdul Kadir owes the public an explanation why these lands were approved to these companies.
3. These lands should be awarded through open tender with strategic areas reserved for public amenities.

___________________________________________________________

The pro UMNO media and UMNO leaders recently brought out the issue of my involvement in the reforestation project in Gua Musang, Kelantan to divert public attention from the land scandals that I have exposed against the BN Perak Government in the State Assembly.

Amongst the many land scandals that I have exposed are the following:-

1. 15.0 acres of prime land in Mukim Lumut approved to Reality Axis Sdn Bhd.
2. 32.07 acres of prime land (lot 6593) in Mukim Kamunting approved to YBU Holding Sdn Bhd.
3. 147.84 acres of prime land in Mukim Lumut approved to be developed by Kinta Berkat Sdn Bhd.
4. 58 acres of town land in Bandar Lumut approved  to J & S Holdings Sdn Bhd.
5. 40 acres of prime land at Perak Tengah (Sri Iskandar) approved to Toyo Chemicals Sdn Bhd.

The people behind the abovesaid companies are UMNO/BN leaders and cronies.

I have now been given to understand that the statutory approvals (Form 5A of the National Land Code)  for the above said lands have not been issued and premiums for the above said lands have not been paid. I have  sought legal opinions and have been informed that the above said approvals can still be cancelled without any adverse consequence to the State Government.

I call on the BN to cancel the above said approvals and have them offered for development through open tender. Some areas of the said lands must be reserved for the building of public amenities which will be required in future.

Dato’ Seri zambry Bin Abdul Kadir the BN Perak Menteri Besar has avoided answering me in the Perak State Assembly recent sitting with regard to the above said approvals.

BN Perak State Government owes the people an explanation why the above said lands were approved to the above said companies.

BN has scrutinized and questioned  the award of the 1.1 acres of land approved by PR Penang Government in Taman Maggis even though it being awarded through open tender. I challenge the BN leadership to support my call for the above said prime lands worth Hundreds of Millions ringgit to be re-awarded through open tender if not we know they are mere hypocrites.
