It’s been over eight months since Mohamed Apandi Ali took over the post of attorney-general and the country’s top prosecutor himself marveled at how he has managed to survive.

“I'm marveled, shocked, how I managed to survive the eight months,” he said.

Apandi was responding to Bernama chairperson Azman Ujang who asked him to describe his last eight months as attorney-general after the former federal court judge’s luncheon talk to media practitioners in Kuala Lumpur today.
