Judge advises Najib and defendants to settle out of court

KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court has advised Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak and Mkini Dotcom Sdn Bhd as well as its two editors, whom he sued for defamation, to go for an out-of-court settlement.

Najib’s lawyer Datuk Mohd Hafarizam Harun told reporters after meeting High Court (Appellate and Special Powers) judge Justice Kamaludin Md Said in chambers that the judge suggested that the parties settle the suit as it has been three years since it was filed.
