In January 2020 The Star reported:

PKR president Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s political secretary Farhash Wafa Salvador Rizal Mubarak has filed suit against Muhammed Yusoff Rawther for defamation.In the statement of claim, Farhash, who is also Perak PKR chairman, stated that Muhammed Yusof had called for a media conference in the Klang Valley on Oct 4 last year and a video recording of it was uploaded to the Facebook page "Solidariti Buat Muhammed Yusoff Rawter” and other social media platforms. Farhash claimed that during the media conference, Muhammed Yusoff alleged that he was physically assaulted by him (Farhash).

In October 2022 Malaysia Now reported, on a matter related to both men, and Rawther's allegation of sexual assault by Anwar Ibrahim: 


Muhammed Yusoff Rawther said the decision of the Shah Alam Sessions Court also ordering Tunku Nashrul Tunku Abaidah to issue him a public apology had cleared his name and vindicated him from what he described as "pernicious and malicious statements" from Anwar's office.

Nashrul was told to apologise to Yusoff and pay him costs over a media statement in 2019, where he denied an assault incident which the latter claimed had taken place at Anwar's office.

The remarks were made in the wake of a police report lodged by Yusoff, claiming that he was physically attacked by Anwar's political secretary, Farhash Wafa Salvador Rizal Mubarak.

Yusoff also filed a separate civil suit against Farhash, claiming compensation for injuries sustained after the alleged assault.

Yusoff, who worked at Anwar’s bungalow office in Bukit Gasing, Petaling Jaya, also filed a suit against the PKR president accusing him of sexually assaulting him some time in October 2018, days before the opposition leader won the Port Dickson by-election. 

Yusoff claimed to have suffered serious physical, psychological and social trauma as a result of the incident. The case is still pending in court.




On 3 January 2020 The Star reported that  Vincent Tan Chee Yioun had appointed Farhash Wafa Salvador  to  a number of executive and non-executive  board positions within his Berjaya Group.
