TEMERLOH: The High Court here set Jan 27 for mention of the suit brought by former Raja Permaisuri Agong Cik Puan Siti Aishah Abdul Rahman against paranormal researcher Syed Abdullah Hussein Al-Attas, better known as Uncle Seekers, for breach of confidential information.
Justice Prasad Abraham fixed the date after hearing an inter parteargument from the plaintiff’s counsel in chambers.
Justice Abraham also ruled that the Insolvency Department be given time to appoint a counsel for Syed Abdullah, who was a bankrupt, while second defendant and Syed Abdullah’s father, Syed Hussein Al-Attas was directed to engage his own lawyer.
Siti Aishah was represented by T. Gunaseelan, Anthony M. Sebastian and Ikmal Hisan Idris.
On Dec 3, Siti Aishah had filed a suit against Syed Abdullah, claiming that he violated an arrangement to keep her secret and information confidential.
She also filed a similar suit against Syed Hussein Al-Attas.
The plaintiff also applied for an injunction to prevent any of her private and confidential details from being published in the defendants’ blogs, newspapers, magazine or books or any of their representatives.
Siti Aishah, in her statement of claims, alleged that in June last year, she had asked Syed Abdullah for help after she was said to have suffered from emotional distress after Syed Abdullah had made an oral representation that he could treat the phenomenon.
Siti Aishah said her arrangement with Syed Abdullah was that he would be paid for his services and that he agreed to maintain confidentiality of all information and communication between them during the treatment and not to exploit her in any way.
She said she had paid Syed Abdullah a total of RM15,000 for the treatment which was terminated.
However, she claimed that details about her and the communication between them were published on the defendants’ blog uncleseekers.blogspot.com in November last year.
Siti Aishah is seeking general damages and exemplary damages deemed fit by the court.
