KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 30 — Former Commercial Crimes Investigation Department chief Datuk Ramli Yusoff has withdrawn his suit against former Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Musa Hassan after the latter tendered an apology in chambers today, The Malaysian Insider reported.

The news portal added that Shah Alam High Court judge Dr Prasad Sandosham Abraham ordered Musa to pay RM10,000 in costs to Ramli.

It is understood that the case was initially fixed for pre-trial today.

On December 10, 2012, Musa (picture) suggested that unnamed political figures were backing Ramli in a war of words between the two.

According to Musa, Ramli had been given the platform to criticise him while painting a positive image of the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM).
