Is newly-appointed Attorney-General Mohamed Apandi Ali the hatchet man for Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak or will he work towards ensuring an enlightened and democratic Malaysia, DAP parliamentary leader Lim Kit Siang wants to know.

Posing this question today, Lim went on to point out that Apandi’s first statement as AG was to justify the removal of his predecessor, Abdul Gani Patail, as constitutional and according to law.
