Rafizi to proceed with lawsuit against Caprice after apology deadline lapses
Rafizi Ramli will pursue legal action against Caprice after the influencer failed to meet a deadline to apologize for allegedly defamatory posts.Summary
Former economy minister Datuk Seri Rafizi Ramli announced he will proceed with a lawsuit against social media personality Caprice after Caprice failed to apologize by the given deadline. The dispute stems from Caprice’s claims suggesting Rafizi had vested interests in Invoke Solutions Sdn Bhd, which Rafizi contends were presented as accusations and insinuations. Rafizi asserts he has a strong legal case, stating Caprice’s posts implied he benefited from a RM2.5 billion corruption case related to a contract awarded to a company linked to him. He refuted these claims, stating he would have been imprisoned if true and that the Anti-Money Laundering Crime Investigation Team (AMLA) closely monitors him. Rafizi clarified that shares mentioned in an SSM search were preference shares representing a loan, not equity, and that Invoke Solutions has many clients. He also suggested the controversy was a deliberate attempt to divert attention from issues surrounding Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki.
