AG must reveal outcome of Apandi’s suit against Dr M, say lawyers - superadmin - 04-15-2022 KUALA LUMPUR: Two lawyers have called for disclosure of the terms of an out of court settlement between the government and former attorney-general Apandi Ali over his sacking in 2018. One of them, R Kengadharan, said confidentiality clauses would not apply as it was a public interest suit that involved Putrajaya and former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad against Apandi. He told FMT attorney-general Idrus Harun should reveal the outcome of the case since monetary compensation was involved. The other lawyer, Syed Iskandar al-Mahdzar, said private individuals or corporate entities were entitled to settle defamation or contractual disputes as compensation would be paid from private funds. - More -
