PUTRAJAYA: National Defence Education Centre (Puspahanas) president Vice Admiral Datuk Sabri Zali will take legal action against any party publishing defamatory statements about him.

He added that all allegations, including shared photos and documents on social media, remain unverified.
“Since the source cannot be ascertained, we are handing over this matter to the proper legal process,” he said at a press conference.
Muhammad Firdaus confirmed Sabri has filed a police report regarding the allegations.
He stated several more follow-up reports will be submitted later.
“A police report has indeed been filed and several more follow-up reports will be filed by Datuk Sabri,” he said.
He explained the matter dates back to August 2024, not just recent weeks.
Commenting on the impact, Muhammad Firdaus said the damage requires legal intervention.
He noted the allegations are widely spread on various social media platforms.
“The seriousness of this damage is not only at the institutional level, but has also involved family and friends,” he said.
On December 31, Chegu Bard questioned a senior military officer’s retention despite alleged corruption case links. – Bernama
