IPOH: Nga Kor Ming is mulling over taking legal action against Perak PAS commissioner Razman Zakaria for alleged defamation.
The Housing and Local Government Minister said he has instructed his lawyers to study whether a case could be built against the Gunung Semanggol assemblyman.
"If it is justified, then (I) will see him in court," he told a press conference after opening the Jalan Hospital community service centre here on Friday (Oct 25).
"I have instructed my special officer in Teluk Intan to lodge a police report against him for purposely wanting to instigate hatred and racial sentiment and his motives are bad," he added.
Nga, who is also Teluk Intan MP, was asked to comment on Razman's allegations made earlier Friday that he and Perak executive council member Woo Kah Leong had attended a cultural event in Teluk Intan where several individuals hoisted Chinese flags in public.
A video of the incident has also gone viral.
Nga said both he and Woo did not attend the event as claimed.
"I was at a meeting in Kuala Lumpur.
"He (Razman) also said that I endorsed (the event) but we did not organise it, so this is a clear allegation," he said, adding that the organiser of the event has already apologised for the incident.
Woo had also issued a statement on Friday to refute Razman’s allegations and deny that neither he nor Ngo was at the festival in Teluk Intan, where Chinese nationals were filmed waving Chinese flags.
