The statement refuted all inaccurate claims presented in the articles.
In a follow-up to its media statement on April 26, Berjaya Corporation Bhd said its lawyer has lodged a police report against Bloomberg LP and The Edge Singapore about their alleged publication of false news regarding the Forest City project in Johor.
It referred to the articles published on April 25 -- “Malaysia In Talks With Tycoons On Casino To Revive $100 Billion Forest City” published by Bloomberg LP, and “Malaysia Mulls Casino At Forest City” in The Edge Singapore. It said such “malicious publications” are further aggravated by the fact that neither news agency had made any attempt to verify or confirm the veracity and accuracy of the statements in the articles before publishing them, especially when they were attributed to an “unnamed source”.
Referring to the two articles, Berjaya Corporation said: “They have misrepresented our supposed involvement in discussions with Anwar regarding the Forest City project and wish to make it clear that Tan has not participated in any such discussions”.
