Kuala Lumpur High Court has asked Lembah Pantai MP Nurul Izzah Anwar's defamation suit against inspector-general of police (IGP) Khalid Abu Bakar and minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob to first go for mediation.

"Usually the practice of the High Court for all cases is to first go for mediation to see if the matter can be resolved, before going to full trial," said Nurul Izzah's lawyer S Sivarasa
