KUALA LUMPUR: Attorney-General Idrus Harun said today that he had already informed Dr Mahathir Mohamad of the terms of settlement pertaining to a lawsuit filed by Apandi Ali against the former prime minister and the Malaysian government.
He said following the settlement, Apandi withdrew his suit on the termination of his contract as the attorney-general.
Idrus added that the court then struck out the plaintiff’s claim with no liberty to file afresh.
“I can only confirm that Tun (Mahathir) wrote recently seeking information on the terms of the settlement.
“I’ve already replied to inform him of the terms of settlement,” he told Bernama via WhatsApp when asked to comment on the matter.
