Former Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak has dropped a defamation suit against Malaysiakini and its editors Steven Gan and Fathi Aris Omar.

Najib filed the suit in June 2014 alleging that two articles compiling readers' comments on the Terengganu menteri besar imbroglio that took place that year were defamatory.

The settlement was recorded at the Kuala Lumpur High Court today.
