Ex-premier had accused Attorney-General of lacking credibility for clearing PM Najib of graft in 1MDB saga
GEORGE TOWN •
Former Malaysian prime minister Mahathir Mohamad is under investigation for defaming the Attorney-General in blog posts, criticising his failure to bring corruption charges against Prime Minister Najib Razak.
The feud between Malaysia's past leader and current one has gripped the nation for almost a year, with Tun Dr Mahathir repeatedly calling on Datuk Seri Najib, his former protege, to step down over a financial scandal at state fund 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB).
In a Feb 5 posting on his personal blog, Dr Mahathir wrote that Attorney-General Mohamed Apandi Ali had "no credibility" after he cleared Mr Najib of any criminal offences or corruption arising from a graft probe into a US$681 million (S$952 million) deposit in Mr Najib's personal bank account.
