KUALA LUMPUR: The Attorney General's Department has once again rejected the letter of representation from Sarawak Report editor Clare Rewcastle-Brown to drop the criminal defamation charge against her over alleged statements made against the Sultanah of Terengganu Sultanah Nur Zahirah through the book"The Sarawak Report - The Inside Story of the 1MDB Expose".
Based on a copy of the letter obtained by the media, the AGC decided that there was sufficient evidence to retain the existing charge against the accused. Both Deputy Public Prosecutor Noor Haslinda Che Seman and Rewcastle-Brown’s counsel Guok Ngek Seong confirmed the matter when contacted. The letter was filed following the decision of the High Court here on Oct 31 last year which rejected the defamation suit filed by Sultanah Nur Zahirah against the British journalist over the alleged defamation involving the Terengganu Investment Authority in the book.
