The statement of claim sighted by FMT listed WHO director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, former prime ministers Muhyiddin Yassin and Ismail Sabri Yaakob, the health ministry, and the government as defendants.

Other defendants included health minister Dzulkefly Ahmad and his predecessors, Dr Adham Baba and Khairy Jamaluddin; home minister Saifuddin Nasution Ismail and his predecessor Hamzah Zainudin; and education minister Fadhlina Sidek and her predecessor Radzi Jidin.

The plaintiffs also named former health director-general Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah as well as the former and current inspectors-general of police as defendants.

The plaintiffs alleged that they were adversely affected by the government’s “negligent and erroneous public health policy” mandating vaccination during the peak of the Covid-19 pandemic four years ago.

They include the son of a man who died after receiving three doses of vaccine, the husband of a woman who passed away after receiving two doses, and a cleaning worker who suffered a stroke, also after two doses.

The fourth plaintiff is a masseuse who experienced serious side effects after one dose and now requires a wheelchair for mobility, while the fifth is a housewife who also suffered serious symptoms after two doses.

The sixth plaintiff is an Amanah Saham Nasional Bhd worker and the seventh, a supervisor at a department store in Mahkota Parade Melaka. Both claim to have been discriminated against by their employers for refusing to take the vaccines.

The eighth plaintiff is the son of a woman who died after developing severe health issues, including fatal respiratory failure and hypoimmunity, following one dose of vaccine.

The plaintiffs are seeking a total of RM60 million in general, special, and exemplary damages.

They are also seeking a court declaration, among others, that the Covid-19 virus is “fake” and man-made, and that the use of medicines such as ivermectin and colchicine without prior vaccine should be allowed.

They likewise asked the court to cancel all programmes such as the National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme.

The plaintiffs want the court to order Anwar and the government to withdraw from being members of WHO and the World Economic forum, which they describe as “planned criminals” colluding to usurp the sovereignty of their member countries, including Malaysia.

According to Malaysiakini, the Attorney-General’s Chambers filed a memorandum of appearance for the government and several other defendants on Monday at the Kuala Lumpur High Court. The statement of claim was filed by Messrs Mohamad Zainuddin & Co on Oct 23.

The news portal also reported that the court had fixed Feb 17 next year for case management.
