Former Attorney-General Tan Sri Mohamad Apandi Ali failed in his last bid to reinstate his RM10 million defamation suit against DAP Advisor Tan Sri Lim Kit Siang today.

This is after the Federal Court dismissed Apandi's leave application to appeal the lower court's decision.

Apandi filed the lawsuit over an article that questioned the former AG's role in aiding and abetting in the 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) scandal.

The suit claimed the defendant had deliberately or indirectly implied that Apandi was involved in criminal activities, is someone who is unethical, immoral, incompetent, and lacked responsibility, knowledge, expertise and other professional ethics to hold the post of AG at the material time.

He said the article had tainted his reputation by claiming that he was directly involved, assisted and abetted in the 1MDB scandal.
