KUALA LUMPUR - Ex-Malaysian premier Najib Razak will file a defamation suit against former attorney-general Tommy Thomas over parts of the senior lawyer s memoir, Bernama news agency reported, while at least seven police reports have been lodged against the book for making what were allegedly unfounded claims.
Najib and his family are also considering legal options against Tan Sri Thomas, The Star newspaper reported on Saturday (Jan 6), over a chapter that seemed to cast aspersions on their late father, ex-prime minister Razak Hussein, in the deadly 1969 race riots.
Former premier Mahathir Mohamad has said he regretted appointing Mr Thomas to the position in 2018 soon after the Pakatan Harapan government came to power.
