Khairy's statements did not tarnish Anwar's reputation, court hears


KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court here was told that Opposition Leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim's reputation was not jeorpadised by UMNO Youth chief Khairy Jamaluddin's statements during a political speech in Kuala Kangsar, Perak, six years ago.

Khairy's lawyer, Datuk Seri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah, said Anwar's reputation had already been tarnished by the abuse of power charges brought against him in all levels of court and sodomy charges he faced earlier.
