KUALA LUMPUR: Wait for a letter from my lawyer, Hannah Yeoh told Razman Zakaria following his recent claim linking her to YTL Corp.
The Youth and Sports Minister said on X that the speech by Perak PAS chief was defamatory in nature.
"The speech made by Razman Zakaria, accused me of many things for over a minute.
"Wait for a letter from my lawyer.
"Defamation cannot be allowed to become a habit, especially by religious folk," she said on Tuesday (Jan 28).
Razman had claimed that Yeoh was linked to the Yeoh family which owns YTL Corporation Bhd.
“PAS needs to know that not all Yeohs are related,” she said.
She was responding to a video of the Gunong Semanggol assemblyman, claiming that she was the “daughter of a rich man” and a “daughter of YTL”.
The late Yeoh Tiong Lay founded YTL as a construction company in 1955 and has since become the country’s largest conglomerate ranging from construction to utilities, hotels and property development.
Sebenarnya ucapan Razman Zakaria Pesuruhjaya PAS Perak yang menuduh saya macam2 melebihi satu minit. Nantikan surat daripada peguam saya. Fitnah tidak boleh dibenarkan menjadi satu kebiasaan terutamanya oleh orang yang beragama.
