KUALA LUMPUR: The opening round of the legal bout between Datuk Ibrahim Ali and Datuk Seri Wong Chun Wai has begun on Boxing Day with the Perkasa chief formally filing the suit against The Star’s group managing director and chief executive officer.

Ibrahim alleged that the article on his Bible-burning call, titled “A mind-boggling spin” and published in Wong’s On the Beat blog on Nov 2, had defamed him by stating that he should be charged under the Sedition Act.
