KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court here today has dismissed former Attorney General Tan Sri Tommy Thomas' application to strike out a suit filed by Tan Sri Shahrir Ab Samad against him and three others for malicious prosecution.
The former Johor Baru MP filed the suit last December and named Thomas, former Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission chief Latheefa Koya, MACC and the government as defendants. Thomas, who was the AG from June 4, 2018, to Feb 28, 2020, had in his affidavit in support denied Shahrir's claims against him in the statement of claim, which included misfeasance in public office, and describing it as"unsustainable."
Thomas said he resigned on Feb 28, 2020 and on July 26, 2022, Shahrir's criminal trial for the charge commenced.
