Rosmah Mansor, the wife of former Malaysian prime minister Najib Razak, files a defamation lawsuit against comedian Harith Iskander following an allegedly insulting stand-up performance. Both reports say Rosmah filed the writ of summons at Malaysia’s High Court on June 9. Her statement of claim says the alleged defamatory remarks were made during Harith’s stand-up routine titled “Harith Iskander: The Outspoken Comedy Tour,” performed at the Swiss-Garden Hotel in Melaka on January 17. Rosmah alleges the routine mocked her and includes insults and body-shaming. Channel NewsAsia reports that she brought the case in June, stating that the alleged defamation occurred during the Melaka comedy show earlier this year. The dispute is framed as a defamation matter arising from comments made during the performance. The reports do not provide details of Harith Iskander’s response or any court decision at this time.
