KUALA LUMPUR, May 23 — The High Court has today dismissed former attorney-general Tan Sri Mohamed Apandi Ali’s defamation suit against veteran DAP lawmaker Lim Kit Siang over an article on the 1Malaysia Development Berhad scandal published in 2019.
Before the decision was delivered, Azimah had earlier reprimanded Lim’s lawyers for failing to ensure their client turned up for today’s civil suit hearing. To that end, Lim’s lawyer Sangeet Kaur Deo said her client was indeed aware of the matter and his legal team was present on his behalf. “Due respect has to be given to the court. The court has notified him of the date of decision. You cannot take this kind of situation lightly. That's not it.
