Ismail Sabri denies any link to attack on Rafizi’s son

KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob (pic) is denying any claims on social media that he is involved in the attack on Datuk Seri Rafizi Ramli’s son.

In a statement on Wednesday (Aug 19), the former prime minister said that a police report was made over the allegations on Facebook.

“On Aug 18, my press secretary made a police report at the Dang Wangi police station over two articles on Facebook that claim I was involved in the attack on Rafizi’s son as well as a scandal involving a private company.

“A report was lodged with the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) and Facebook.

“The articles are false and malicious, meant to besmirch my reputation and name,” he said.

He also urged authorities to take action against those responsible.

“I have also instructed my lawyer to take legal action on those involved,” he said.

Previously, police confirmed that Rafizi’s son had been assaulted on Aug 13 at a shopping mall in Putrajaya.
