Labuan MP lodges police report against news portal

Labuan MP Rozman Isli today lodged a police report against Sabah-based news portal Sabahkini2.com for publishing an allegedly defamatory report yesterday which damaged his reputation.

He said the report, with the headline "Rozman MP Labuan keluar Warisan sertai Muhyiddin?" had gone viral on social media and created confusion and unnecessary speculation among many Parti Warisan Sabah (Warisan) leaders.

Rozman said the report was published not long before Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin unveiled his new cabinet in Putrajaya yesterday.

“I have already lodged a police report against the news blog to demand an open apology over its defamatory report,” he told a press conference here today.

“I strongly deny the Sabahkini2 report which has damaged my reputation.

“I will stick to Warisan and am prepared to be an opposition MP to voice out the rights of Labuan and Sabah,” he said.

Rozman said he was considering whether to take legal action against the news portal.
