Dear all,
In Khir Toyo’s speech in the DUN Selangor yesterday, he said he did not implicate me in the azan issue. Instead, he blamed it on Utusan Malaysia, and he said that’s why I did not sue him but I sue Utusan Malaysia only.
However, when YB Lau Wen San, ADUN for Kg Tunku read out what Khir had written in his his blog that has implicated me, he was speechless. I was very cheesed off with his arrogant attitude.
After he delivered his speech, I then called my lawyer Sankara Nair and told him what had happened. Nair then slapped him with my Letter of Demand.

To a question to one commentator known as “saudara sinatra_ z” who
asked you a question which is reproduced herewith in full:
saudara sinatra_z said…
Dr Khir ada burung berkicau dalam internet berkata..
Dalam dewan undangan negeri Selangor,Terresa Kok telah mengepalai satu
petisyen penduduk di Puchong kepada Datuk Satim Diman (Sri Kembangan)
mengenai aduan penduduk bukan Islam terhadap laungan azan subuh yg
didakwa menggangu ketenteraman penduduk.
You have replied to Saudara sinatra as follows which is reproduced
herewith in full as follows:
“Dr Mohamad Khir Toyo said…
Saudara sinatra_ z,
Memang betul ada petisyen dari kaum Cina Kinrara yang meminta
diperlahankan suara azan. Petisyen ini disokong oleh YB. Teresa Kuok.
Perkara ini dibangkitkan oleh YB datuk Satim di DUN Selangor tetapi
tiada jawapan. Saya bimbang mungkin kerana YB Teresa Kuok telah
berjanji untuk membantu tuntutan itu dilaksanakan.
Saya sebagai Ketua Pembangkang akan terus menentang perkara tersebut
atas dasar agama Islam adalah agama rasmi negara dan negara ini
mengamalkan kebebasan beragama dan tiada undang-undang yang menghalang
surau dan masjid menggunakan pembesar suara. Perkara ini berlaku
kerana pendokong DAP telah jadi besar kepala sejak akhir-akhir ini.
Jangan dijolok sarang tebuan, kelak menyesal tak berkesudahan.

I understand the point of suing them…
But seriously I feel that you are now in a suing frenzy… I personally think that you will earn more if you can keep it cool…
To the public eyes, you are perceived, by some of them as a crazy lady who keep suing and suing… and it doesn’t help you are now part of the government, rather than an opposition representative…
I just think that sometimes you gotta keep it cool, not always… but sometimes… that I believe, will offer a more solid image of statesmanship (in this case statewoman 😛 )
(Come on, what would you do if you were in her shoes? Teresa is forced to go on the offensive to defend herself. Do not forget Utusan has also filed a counter claim) Moderator
YB Teresa, no turning back. This goon must be taught a lesson of how to be responsible citizen.
I want to see and many people want see that idiot reporter, the paper and this broom boy of the century pay the price of being arrogant and irresponsible, they are despicable and do not help the nation progress.
But just to let you know that if you withdraw, I will be very disappointed. Keep it all the way YB.
Teresa
you are right in sueing Khir toyol.you help us to
“swallow one pc of breath” (canton)Be brave and courageous
God is faithful and the truth shall prevail.Khir will reap
what he has sown.GBU.
bentoh,
suing frenzy? try talking cock/malice frenzy. u think our YB like to do what she is forced to do? I don’t think so…..don’t deprive her the right to use our judicial system to defend her good name and deter dirty politicking…..
bentoh;
Don’t be an apologist for evil men. What so wrong if she chose to sue the mischief makers…to defend her dignity and integrity. Matter of fact, you should admire and respect her, to have the courage taking on Utusan + UMNO machinery.
bentoh you are simply being influenced by Rocky’s postings but, have not grasped his intentions. Grow up!
I know I know…
But to play around with Utusan is more like… well, playing with sh*t don’t you think so? I mean, Teresa ends up getting herself dirtier…
I guess if I was her… I would only sue for that azan article… I mean, the chamil wariya and the queen of dog thingy… I honestly don’t know whether it was a defamation or whatever… It looks like more a death threat material that should be subjected to public debate… rather than a court case…
Ahhh well… I guess being a politician is more about outlook to me… I mean, to sound like more “forgiving” would perhaps score better… Now it’s more like David vs Goliath… well Teresa being David lah… 😉
As for someone over the blogosphere’s claim about Press freedom, I very much agree that it’s bullsh*t… 😉
Teresa, you did the right thing.
To keep quiet and do nothing is that admit that you are what these scums called you.
The implications of doing nothing are huge. People will perceive you as the person that you, in fact, are not.
Having to face such people is all part and parcel of the life of a politician.
Teresa,
Keep us posted of the suing development we want to participate in the justice and mold out the unrighteousness in the Omnipresence Allah.
May the wisdom of Allah be with you!
Peace be with you too…
Defence may be the best offence.
But when the opponents are extremely offensive; go for the counter-attacks.
Sue them till they drop.
Strike when the iron is hot.
Bentoh,
Teresa was ‘force’ to defence herself in order to explain to d muslim world (especially m’sian)that she’s NOT anti-islam/anti-malay as reported by corrupted rejim racist umno & their rejim’s DrSpin machineries/MSM !
YB Teresa,
sue them till they learn their lesson well & pay back their corrupted gain to d nation!
berani kerana benar ! takut kerana salah !
d whole nation tak kira malay, cina, indian & others is fully behind u !
YB,
Making absolutely sure that you can win the court case first, then only sue him, otherwise it will make you look bad in the eyes of Malaysians. Since the sums of money you sue for are large, make sure the people understand that the sole purpose of your legal actions against UM and the newspaper’s columnist and the former MB is purely to defend yourself against cruel accusations. The ex-PMs of a neighbouring country used to sue their political opponents for libels, but they were always successful in their legal actions.
YB
Do ur lawyer charge u fees? If not enuf $, tell us ar, we raise donation…sue them kau kau
Yesssss… go ahead. Saman jangan tak saman.
However, I’v yet to see your service to your constituent. Your constituency must be a happy lot, no complaints, no story, no plan…
Ops! what is your job… really
Teresa, just sue this arrogant racialistic bum KT and UM including those unethical reporters.
These bunch of trouble makers do not expect sympathy from the rakyat.
Instead of helping the country to move forward, these bums keep trying to cause racial and religious hatred among the different races.
They have nothing better to do.
If you need help especially finance for any court cases I am sure many will be willing to help.
Keep it up. Otherwise these bums thought they can cover the whole sky with their dirty hands.
keep us inform on the stat YB,dont forget to give him a broom for his bad attitude as a ketua pembangkang…..and whisper to him keep up the good work!!!!by the way 10mil cukup ka!!! dia sudah banyak kaya oooooo….lebih sikit pun x pa maaaa…hehehehe
ust want to share this article to everyone … in chinese word .. http://www.malaysiakini.com/letters/91806
纳吉带你的100亿到“荷兰”
大马的孩子 | 10月23日 下午2点02分
看了政府要用100亿来收购被低估的股票这样的新闻报道，不禁感慨十分。不知各位对100亿有个什么概念？无法想象？让我告诉你吧。
拥有这笔钱你能购买10,000间价值1百万的房子；你能健7.4条槟威大桥；建16条地铁；建500间价值两千万的校园；又或者你想象，一百万人从口袋里掏十千元出来；如果一个人平均年收入是12万免税，能干35年，那也要2382人不吃，不用，不停的干35年，才能储蓄到100亿。这还没将35年的通货膨胀的因素考虑在内。
怎么样？有感觉了吗？有概念了吗？还没吗？那好！让我再告诉你吧，这笔钱是从EPF借出来投资。听好！是借！不是EPF直接投资。那就是说如果赚，你没份！如果亏，那钱肯定是“冻过水”（变坏帐）！怎么样？有感觉了吗？这就是我们纳吉所用的救市“高招”。这招有一个很好听的名堂，那就是“赚的给我，亏的给你。”还好，从2007年起，我就没有供奉EFP了（本人已到上海谋生）。不然我的钱分分钟变“马来式大闸蟹”。
我不是什么经济学者，也没资格发表经济高论。但稍微对经济有点认识都知道这绝对是下下策。
不知你是否有听过这样的一句话“股票市场是经济的温度计”。那就是说股票市场所展现的数字代表着投资者的信心对大马未来的经济展望。10月份KLSE不见了一成。这意味着什么？这意味投资者对大马未来市场失信心而将股票套现离开市场。你以为那些投资者都凭感觉走？你认为像“Temasek Holding”那样的投资机构会因为“感觉”没信心而离场吗？
醒醒吧！他们有的人才可都是世界金融顶尖人物，不然他们怎么会有“亚州巴菲特”的美誉。换句话说，他们肯定有足够的资料证明，我们前面的经济状况肯定不妙。
回顾历史每一次政府大手笔抛银弹救市，效果肯定不能维持太久。更令人感到可怕的是，之后肯定是更糟。为何会这样？很简单！政府入市只是能制造反弹而不能制造牛市，因为经济实体的坏因素没有改善。反而在熊市的反弹浪会一浪低于一浪，因为经济实体的坏因素没有改善而变的更恶劣，这样投资者会更没信心而加大套现离场。在这时候，那些功课下的不足者就会被套牢，而成为名副其实的“马来式大闸蟹”。
难道我们的纳吉真的是那么差吗？这点道理也不懂？他肯定比你和我还要懂。那既然懂，那为何不将这100亿投资在整顿经济反而投入股票里头？
想想吧！十月份的全球金融风暴肯定是有不少“VIP股民”在火热水深之中。而我们伟大的纳吉是出于菩萨心肠想借助这“赚的给我，亏的给你”普渡这班“VIP股民”，好让他们能将蟹货出手。其实你也能沾点“VIP股民”的光。真的！我绝对不是开玩笑，如果阁下还有蟹货又或好货在手，那乘这次反弹的机会将你的蟹货给放了又或先将你的盈利实现吧。
哎呀！就当着是将你的EPF套现。如果你没有股票在手，那只好祈求老天保佑马来西亚的国运吧！
PR is the people’s best hope!
BN has been given fifty-one years to run the country and just see what happened?
They not only messed up big time, they even kicked out the PM – the very same PM they defended against the attack of TDM not that long ago!
This shows what they have in UMNO.
On top of that, after fifty-one years of their reign, we don’t even have security, a credible health service, proper housing for the people, transport system etc.
Just let us know which aspect of Malaysian life is satisfactory to Malaysians?
None!
And the pathetic PM has our trust in the GE of 2004 and he squandered it like it’s not worth anything!
So, should the electorate continue to support the BN?
Or give a chance to the PR?
You decide!
Bentoh and all…
IF ATK is in “suing frenzy” then obviously UMNOputras are in “ISA frenzy”
as i said in MT site.. if UMNO leaders did not arrest her on the azan article, then there is NO need for her to sue.
But freedom of press a l a malazutUMNO means freedom to write LIES so that others will go to jail!
I wonder if MR bentoh here subscribe to that philosophy.
on the other hand, why the Malaysiakini journalist have to resign over some email reports that he uploaded to the portal???
The article may be false but Najib did not suffer anything or go to jail?
Isnt that a proof of previleged Ketuanan UMNO multiple standard that will shame the universe???
All of you should also realised that ATS can only file a suit. Up to today, we see nothing moving in court.
When are they gonna hear that suit? when an ole man like me die a hundred times, it still will be at the front desk files of the courts?
Also all those parties sued have so many guardian angels… or rather GUARDIAN LUCIFERS protecting them…
and i still doubt if Teresa will ever get her justice while i still breath.
Dear Teresa, just saw you on internet a while back. Hope you have a good rest after a long day. I particularly like your energy and your laughter, is so ‘bright’. Its good to see you being yourself unlike so many-faces politician have to put up each day. A cheerful heart sounds like a medicine.
Keep up the good work, and thank you as always.
God Bless.
You did the right thing. In fact, Jesus has told us that we can evaluate others if we do it righteously after listening and knowing the truth. Certainly not because you wanted to but you had to correct the slander against you. We must stand for what we believe in, otherwise we stand for nothing.
As an elected leader, your integrity is key to facilitate your achievement in all your endeavours. For if you kept silent then surely judgement will befall you in the eyes of the haughty; ready to judge or worse condemn.
Proverbs 6:19 “A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.” This pearl of wisdom uncovers the real intent of all that has befallen you. We pray the ring of protection be with you as a shield against all these darts of lies and slander.
However, a word of caution, may our evaluations be righteous, objective, prayerful and with a heart of love. Amen.
Dear YB,
I am with you with regards to your action of suing the former MB. As somebody has mentioned earlier, you have to be certain that you have a case.
As for the amount of damages you stated, I think it is too exorbitant. I know and understand that some of our leaders need to be taught a lesson for uttering certain words (they being arrogant) and have been getting away with it. Only by such action (suing) we can stop the arrogance.
