Govt needs time to settle pensioners' lawsuit through mediation, court told


KUALA LUMPUR: The government needs more time to try to resolve the lawsuit filed by a group of 35 individuals, comprising former members of the judiciary and seven widows of former judges over alleged failure by the government to fix appropriate increase in the pension and benefits they received since 2015, through the mediation process.

The retired judges include former Court of Appeal president Tan Sri Alauddin Mohd Sheriff, former chief judges of Malaya Tan Sri Siti Norma Yaakob and Tan Sri Haidar Mohamed Nor, and former Court of Appeal judge Tan Sri Mohamad Ariff Md Yusof, who is also former Dewan Rakyat speaker.
