BN assemblyperson for Pulau Betong, Muhamad Farid Saad, has forgiven the publisher of Harakah and its reporter and will not take legal action against the PAS newspaper for publishing an inaccurate report about him.
In forgiving them, he said, it did not mean that the report published in the newspaper was true.
"Its better that I focus my attention on the development of the Penang Malays than to think about what other people say," he told reporters in Georgetown today.
Last Nov 23, Muhamad Farid said he would take legal action against Harakah if the PAS newspaper failed to apologise within two weeks for what he claimed was an inaccurate report about him published on Nov 15.
He claimed that the newspaper had distorted a statement he had made at a forum on Malay land in Penang.
