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.
