ACTIVIST Arumugam Dorasamy who is better known as Arun Dorasamy has issued a public apology in open court to the United Rights of Malaysian Party (Urimai) interim chairman Prof Ramasamy Palanisamy.
This was regarding a defamatory statement made by the former legal unit director of NGO Hindu Agamam Ani Malaysia on Jan 11, 2022 on Facebook.
In his post, Arun had claimed that Ramasamy was splitting the Hindus in Malaysia to destroy Hinduism.
“Stop polarising the Hindus … with intention to destroy Hinduism. We the Hindus know it too well …”, Arun had published on FB.
In the apology done on behalf of himself and Hindu Agamam Ani Malaysia, Arun admitted that the statement was untrue, unfounded and had no factual basis.
The Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court had found Arun guilty of making statements that imputed to defaming last year. It ordered Arun to pay RM12,000 to Ramasamy in legal costs.
The amount of compensation to Ramasamy will be determined by the court at the next hearing. Ramasamy was represented by lead counsel Shamsher Singh Thind.
Urimai party leaders such as its secretary-general M. Satees was also present at the hearing today. – Nov 2, 2026
