Why did govt settle Apandi’s ‘unlawful sacking’ suit, asks Dr M

[superadmin]

PETALING JAYA: Dr Mahathir Mohamad has questioned why Putrajaya decided to reach a settlement with former attorney-general Apandi Ali in his suit against the government and Mahathir over his alleged “unlawful sacking” in 2018.

Mahathir said that when he was giving his statement to current Attorney-General Idrus Harun over the suit, Idrus told him the termination of Apandi’s services was according to procedure.

“He said the government and I advised the King rightly, for Apandi’s services to be terminated. So I was shocked recently to read that a settlement was reached outside the court between the government and Apandi, with the terms kept a secret.
