Shahrir Samad, Tommy Thomas runding kemungkinan selesai kes saman
Hakim tangguh bicara sehingga 9 Sept bagi membolehkan pihak terlibat maklum mahkamah status cadangan penyelesaian saman.
Mahkamah Tinggi Kuala Lumpur has postponed the hearing of a lawsuit filed by Shahrir Samad against former solicitor general Tommy Thomas, former chairperson of Malaysia's Anti-Corruption Agency Latheefa Koya, and two others. The delay was granted so that all parties involved could hold discussions towards settling the lawsuit. Chief Judge Gan Techiong halted the proceedings after Shahrir's lawyer, Firoz Hussein, informed him that talks were taking place between Shahrir's legal team and the defendants regarding the settlement of the lawsuit.
Shahrir had sued Thomas, Latheefa, SPRM, and the Malaysian government for defamation in December 2023, alleging improper use of power and unchallengability. Thomas, who served as the solicitor general from June 2018 to February 2020, denied the allegations, stating that he resigned on February 28, 2020, and that Shahrir's criminal case began on July 26, 2022.
In January 2023, High Court Judge Muhammad Jamil Hussin acquitted Shahrir of charges of failing to declare RM1 million received from former Prime Minister Najib Razak.
