A WRATHFUL Attorney-General Mohamed Apandi Ali has vowed to sue Raja Petra Kamaruddin “till kingdom come” over an article posted on the latter’s blog on Friday,

Apandi told The Star Online that he was talking with his lawyer friends about how he should proceed in suing the blogger over his article.

“I am seriously going to sue and am consulting my lawyer friends in the UK. This is nothing but fake news done with evil intention,” he told the news portal.

Apandi also rubbished the claims in Raja Petra’s column entitled “Strong Rumours Surrounding the AG: Part 1”  in the section, The Corridors of Power, on the blog Malaysia-Today.

Apandi denied Raja Petra’s allegations of corruption and story about how he landed the AG’s post in the article.

Raja Petra is living in exile in the UK after fleeing sedition and criminal defamation charges in Malaysia in 2006, over a string of stories he published linking Prime Minister Najib Razak and wife, Rosmah Mansor to the gruesome murder of Mongolian model and translator Shaariibuugiin Altantuya.

Raja Petra also wrote about a purported meeting in 2015 between senior judges – namely former Chief Justice Arifin Zakaria, Chief Justice Md Raus Shariff and Court of Appeal president Zulkefli Ahmad Makinudin – with a senior politician on an alleged plot to topple the government.

Before he became the country’s top prosecutor two years ago, Apandi had a colourful legal career and was a senior judge.

Apandi graduated in law from the Univer­sity of London in 1972. 

He served as magistrate in Kuala Terengganu from 1973 to 1975, after which he was appointed director of the Legal Aid Bureau in his birthplace of Kota Baru for two years. 

He served as deputy public prosecutor in Kelantan and Terengganu from 1977 to 1980.

Apandi later became legal adviser to a ministry before setting up a private practice in 1982.

In 2003, Apandi returned to civil service and was appointed judicial commissioner in the Kuantan High Court before rising to judge on December 21, 2004.

In 2013, he became a Federal Court judge, a post he held until he was appointed AG in 2015. – October 22, 2017.
