PUTRAJAYA:
It appears to be business as usual at the attorney-general’s office despite rumours that Mohamed Apandi Ali is being held up in the building.

There were no signs of police presence there as of 1pm today aside from a single outrider at the second lobby.

Apandi reported for work earlier today, arriving at his office in Putrajaya at 8.30am on the first working day since the downfall of the Barisan Nasional (BN) government last week.

He faces pressure over his job following clear signals from Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad that he will not be retained.

The former judge, who in 2015 said there was no case against Najib Razak in the wake of allegations of billions of ringgit transferred into the former Umno president’s private bank account, had his contract renewed last month for another three years.

But following Pakatan Harapan’s shock victory last week, Mahathir indicated that heads would roll, including Apandi’s.
