Mahathir, Zahid libel suits unlikely to be settled, says lawyer FMTNews FMTEng
Dr Mahathir Mohamad sued Ahmad Zahid Hamidi over the alleged derogatory use of the name ‘Kutty’ to refer to the former prime minister, and Zahid sued Mahathir over a statement he had tried to get his corruption charges dropped.
Mahathir’s lawyer, Mior Nor Haidir Suhaimi, said there appears to be no possibility of the cases being disposed of without contest at the moment. Mior said the judge requested parties to update the court if there are developments before the trials commence.On April 14, the court suggested that Mahathir and Zahid explore the possibility of settling the two defamation suits between them instead of going to trial.
In his statement of claim, Mahathir alleged that Zahid had defamed him during an Umno divisional meeting in Kelana Jaya on July 30, 2017.
