Exco man demands apology, retraction from two Penang activists

Ravinder Singh and Khoo Salma Nasution were given 14 days to withdraw statements against Zairil Khir Johari in a video posted on social media.


Ravinder Singh and heritage activist Khoo Salma Nasution have been accused of making slanderous statements about a contract to a private company.

GEORGE TOWN: Penang executive councillor Zairil Khir Johari has demanded an apology and a retraction from two activists over remarks made against him in a video clip posted on social media.

Among the offending remarks was a claim that Zairil had abused his power by giving a contract to a private company, said Zairil’s aide, Farid Maulud, in a statement.

He said the letter of demand was sent to Ravinder Singh of Parti Rakyat Malaysia, heritage activist Khoo Salma Nasution, and the publisher of the video, Zaidi Dali.

Zaidi has since retracted his statements and has apologised openly, Farid said.
