Former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad has questioned the lack of action taken against former attorney-general Apandi Ali over his alleged abetting of the multi-million 1MDB scandal.

In a video shared on his Twitter, Mahathir described the matter as “strange”.

“I feel it is very strange that until now there has been no investigation or action taken against Apandi.

“Apandi made mistakes when he was attorney-general before Tommy Thomas. The mistake of releasing (former PM) Najib (Abdul Razak) from any legal action clearly points to Apandi being involved in covering up the 1MDB scandal, given that Najib is now in prison,” he said.
