Former Umno leader Khairuddin Abu Hassan is asking whether attorney-general Mohamed Apandi Ali is beyond criticism after KiniTV and its directors are to be charged for reporting on the former's press conference.

In the press conference, Khairuddin had criticised Apandi's handling of the 1MDB matter, calling him "haprak" (worthless) and demanded that he resign.

"Apandi is a government officer. The position of the attoney-general is part of the civil service."
