KUALA LUMPUR 23 August - Serba Dinamik Holdings Berhad and its Group Managing Director and Chief Executive Order, Dato' Dr. Ir. Ts. Mohd Abdul Karim Abdullah had commenced a legal action against the Owner and Operator of KLSE Screener, for the publication of false and defamatory comments posted by a user account impersonating the Group’s CEO.
The User Account, who goes by the name of “Dato’ Mohd Karim” had published false comments on the website klsescreener.com which leads to undesirable speculations on Serba Dinamik Holding’s stocks.
The Chairman of Serba Dinamik Holdings, Datuk Mohamed Ilyas said, an ad interim injunction was obtained by the company and the Group’s CEO against Lim Kai Yang, being the Owner and Operator of KLSE Screener.
The interim injunction shall serve to restrain KLSE Screener from publishing, republishing or allowing any publication of false comments by any account impersonating Dato’ Mohd Karim or Serba Dinamik Holdings Berhad.
“The company views such impersonation and publication of false comments as serious offences against the company and its CEO. These false comments have created unwanted speculations on Serba Dinamik Holdings which jeopardizes and destroys the goodwill and reputation of the company as well as Dato’ Mohd Karim,” he said.
Datuk Mohamed Ilyas also mentioned that Serba Dinamik will continue to monitor several other platforms and necessary legal actions will be taken against these platforms in due course if these platforms publish false and defamatory articles against the Company.
On 27 July 2021, the court had granted Serba Dinamik Holdings Berhad and Dato’ Mohd Karim, an ex parte injunction order against Lim Kai Yang, the owner and operator of KLSE Screener to restrain him from publishing, republishing or allowing any publication of false comments by any account impersonating Dato’ Mohd Karim or Serba Dinamik Holdings Berhad until 5 August 2021.
An ad interim injunction order was granted on 5 August 2021 where the Court extended the injunction order until the inter partes hearing of the injunction
application.
In the application filed together with the writ of summons, the company applied for an interim injunction to restrain the owner and operator of KLSE Screener or his agent or representative from publishing and republishing the false comments by any account impersonating Dato’ Mohd Karim or Serba Dinamik statements on the latter’s page.
Serba Dinamik and Dato’ Mohd Karim filed the application on the grounds that the statements by klsescreener.com were false, defamatory and had tarnished the reputation and the good name of the company as well as the Group CEO locally and internationally.
The ad interim injunction will remain valid until the disposal of the inter parties hearing of the injunction application on 15 October 2021.
