Apandi Ali fails in bid to set aside High Court dismissal of defamation suit

PUTRAJAYA: Former Attorney-General (AG) Tan Sri Mohamed Apandi Ali has failed in his appeal to set aside the decision of a High Court’s dismissal of his RM10 million defamation lawsuit against Tan Sri Lim Kit Siang.

A three-member bench comprising Court of Appeal judges Datuk Hadhariah Syed Ismail, Datuk M.Gunalan and Datuk Azmi Ariffin, in an unanimous decision dismissed Mohamed Apandi's appeal after ruling that there is no merit to this appeal.
