Mohamad Apandi was commenting on Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said’s statement on Monday, that he had ordered the police on Oct 24 to re-investigate the 1MDB fund issue.

Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Mohamad Fuzi Harun had on Sept 20 said the police have concluded their investigations into 1MDB and that there was no need to investigate the case further.

On another matter, Mohamad Apandi expressed hope that amendments to Section 39B of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952 will be tabled soon to allow judges the discretion not to impose the death penalty.

“The judges have been voicing concerns to me when passing the death sentence on those whom they feel do not deserve it, such as drug mules who were unaware of what they were carrying,” he said, adding that the AGC had already completed the first draft of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952 (Amendment) Bill.

On two recent articles by blogger Raja Petra Kamarudin that claimed he was involved in corruption, Mohamed Apandi said he would take legal action if Raja Petra does not issue an apology.

He said there is no time frame for the apology, but added it should not be too long as Raja Petra should already be aware of it through media reports.

“If there is no apology, I will definitely sue him.”
