Malaysia's ex-attorney general takes legal action, says sacking by Mahathir govt unlawful

KUALA LUMPUR - Malaysia's former attorney-general, Tan Sri Mohamed Apandi Ali, has sent a letter of demand to the Attorney-General's Chambers seeking restitution over his termination from the post two years ago, which he says is unlawful.

Mr Apandi on Jan 26, 2016, cleared then premier Najib of any criminal offences or corruption in the case related to state fund 1MDB. Tun Dr Mahathir was sworn in as Malaysia's prime minister on May 10 that year, a day after the Pakatan Harapan coalition won federal power by ousting the Najib-led Barisan Nasional government.
