Taking to Twitter, Ramesh Rao uploaded a poster with the statement: “I will sue Sarawak Report for defaming me. I challenge Sarawak Report to prove that I am a cybertrooper and a bankrupt.”

He said this in response to a Facebook posting by the Sarawak Report that referred to him as a “declared bankrupt” and a “BN cybertrooper”, shortly after he was turned away by UK police when attempting to lodge a report with them against its editor Clare Rewcastle-Brown in London recently.

According to Malaysiakini, despite admitting in July last year that he had been declared bankrupt once, the problem had been resolved as he now only owed RM15,000.

Rebutting Sarawak Report’s claims, PMSP on its Twitter account pointed out that if Ramesh was indeed still a bankrupt, he would not have been allowed to leave the country, as was the regulations of the Department of Insolvency.

Malaysiakini also quoted him as saying that the documents he had attempted to submit against Sarawak Report and Rewcastle-Brown contained new information which had never been revealed to Malaysian authorities before.

He however did not mention what those documents were.

Ramesh has now pledged war against the whistleblower site, calling for an investigation to be conducted on its editor.

Last year, he urged the UK embassy to stop Rewcastle-Brown from interfering in Malaysian matters.
