KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 1 — Sultanah of Terengganu Sultanah Nur Zahirah told the High Court here today that she has never interfered in the administration of the state government and did not even know about the setting up of the Terengganu Investment Authority or the entity known as 1Malaysia Development Berhad .Sarawak Report
“This is because I have never interfered in the state government’s affairs. Never!” she said during cross-examination by lawyer Americk Sidhu who represented Rewcastle-Brown, publisher Gerakbudaya Enterprise Chong Ton Sin and printer Vinlin Press Sdn Bhd as the defendants. “Apart from the official duties, I am a housewife. I take care of my children. Anybody in my situation will feel what I feel when all of a sudden, my name is mentioned in this fully controversial book. At that time, no one wanted to be linked to Jho Low after what he did to this country,” she said.
Sultanah Nur Zahirah also disagreed with the lawyer’s suggestion that her reputation was intact as correction had been made in the second edition of the book printed in September 2018, replacing the words ‘the wife of the Sultan’ with ‘the sister of the Sultan’ . Sultanah Nur Zahirah filed the suit on November 21, 2018, claiming that the said statement, among others, meant that she was involved in corruption and interfering in the administration of the Terengganu government, besides using her status to influence the establishment of TIA, later known as 1Malaysia Development Berhad .
