Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin has brought defamation suits against former Umno supreme council member Lokman Noor Adam and an Islamic preacher over online postings linked to Malaysia’s Covid-19 vaccination programmes.

The former Umno Youth chief filed the writ of summons against fellow party member Lokman as well as Mohd Rasyiq Mohd Alwi, also known as Ustaz Abu Syafiq, at the Kuala Lumpur High Court on Jan 25.
