KUALA LUMPUR (July 24): DAP veteran Lim Kit Siang has questioned as to what Datuk Seri Najib Razak's response was to the ruling by Justice Datuk Azimah Omar that there was no evidence of the RM2.6 billion fund being donated by Saudi royalty.
In a statement on Sunday (July 24), the member of parliament for Iskandar Puteri referred to the judgement in the defamation case filed by former attorney general Tan Sri Mohamed Apandi Ali against him.
It was reported that Justice Azimah, who had dismissed the suit, described in her 100-page judgement released on Thursday (July 21) that it was the most telling and revealing evidence that Apandi overtly showed disinterest and indifference to elementary rule of law and even common sense.
The court noticed this when Apandi was questioned continuously by Lim's lawyers over absolving Najib by accepting the argument that the amount of more than RM2.6 billion the former prime minister received was from Saudi royalty.
