Kuala Lumpur: Lawyer Mohamed Haniff Khatri Abdulla questioned the reported excerpts of Tan Sri Tommy Thomas’ memoir on the latter’s two-year tenure as attorney general, stressing that those who have served as the government’s top legal adviser should never publicly disclose the advice they had provided unless allowed under the law.
Haniff, who has in the past acted as Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s lawyer in some court cases, said he has yet to read the full contents of Thomas’ newly-released book My Story: Justice in the Wilderness, but wanted to give preliminary comments on a news report on the book’s contents.
