KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk V.K. Lingam told the Royal Commission of Inquiry into a video clip purportedly showing him brokering judges’ appointments that he was only bluffing about talking to former Chief Justice Tun Ahmad Fairuz Sheikh Abdul Halim. 

The lawyer said this in reply to a question by Ranjit Singh, counsel for the Malaysian Bar, who asked him why he told businessman Loh Mui Fah (whose son recorded the video) that he was talking to Ahmad Fairuz.
