KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 23 — The Attorney General’s Chambers will now represent Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad in a lawsuit filed by Tan Sri Halim Saad over the former prime minister’s alleged instructions for the tycoon to dispose of his stakes in United Engineers Malaysia Bhd and Renong Berhad without any profit.Rafique said the AGC was taking over the case as the matter took place during Dr Mahathir’s first stint in office, as stated in the statement of claim filed by Halim to court.
Earlier this month, Dr Mahathir said Halim’s latest lawsuit was odd, as the latter had previously also tried to sue Nor Mohamed and Khazanah Nasional previously but had failed after the court threw out his case in 2013. Halim announced the lawsuit publicly on August 9, which was also when it came up for case management at the High Court. The lawsuit is scheduled for case management next on September 13.
As for Halim’s previous separate lawsuit filed on April 17, 2013 against Nor Mohamed, the government and Khazanah, that lawsuit was struck out by the High Court in October 2013 as it was filed beyond the six-year limitation period, with the Court of Appeal in August 2014 and Federal Court in July 2015 rejecting his bids to revive or restore the lawsuit.
