KUALA LUMPUR:Attorney General Tan Sri Idrus Harun on Saturday (May 7) said that he had already informed Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad of the terms of settlement pertaining to a lawsuit filed by Tan Sri Mohamed Apandi Ali against the former prime minister and the Malaysian government.

He said following the settlement, Mohamed Apandi withdrew his suit on the termination of his contract as the Attorney General.Idrus further said the court then struck out the plaintiff’s claim with no liberty to file afresh.

Yesterday, Dr Mahathir, in his Facebook post, expressed surprise and disagreement with the way the suit was settled out of court, claiming that he was not told of the terms of settlement despite being the main witness in the case. "When I gave a statement to the Attorney-General’s Chambers in preparation for Mohamed Apandi’s suit against me, I was told that the process of terminating the service was proper and in accordance with procedures and the Rule of Law," he added.

The former prime minister asked why the terms of settlement were kept confidential, saying that the people had the right to know especially since it involved compensation.
