Kit Siang says wrote 1MDB-related article to express own opinion

KUALA LUMPUR, April 9 — DAP advisor Lim Kit Siang told the High Court here today that he never lodged a police report against former Attorney-General (AG) Tan Sri Mohamed Apandi Ali over the 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) scandal.

Lim said this when cross-examined by Mohamed Apandi’s lawyer M. Visvanathan on the fifth day of the trial of Mohamed Apandi’s defamation suit against Lim over an article on the 1MDB scandal before Judge Datuk Azimah Omar.

When it was suggested that Lim did not lodge a police report because he knew that Mohamed Apandi did not aid and abet in the 1MDB scandal, Lim said he did not agree.

Visvanathan: I put it to you that you are not brave enough, not bold enough to lodge a police report at the material time that the AG at that time had aided and abetted in 1MDB scandal?
