Former AG sought to negotiate a higher settlement with Goldman Sachs, says Finance Minister


KUALA LUMPUR: Former attorney general Tommy Thomas sought to negotiate for a higher settlement with Goldman Sachs, says Finance Minister Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Tengku Abdul Aziz.

According to Tengku Zafrul, negotiations to seek an out-of-court settlement began after Goldman Sachs had rejected a RM4bil settlement sought by the former Pakatan Harapan administration, but instead made a counter-offer of RM1.5bil as settlement.
