Tun Dr. Mahathir calls PM Abdullah " a liar " !

Acoording to a malaysiakini news report published yesterday, former Prime Minister Dr. Mahathir Mohamad publicly and effectively called Prime Minister Abdullah "a liar". From a legal point of view, if Dr. Mahathir cannot substantiate his allegation that PM Abdullah has "habit of lying", he can, prima facie, be sued by PM Abdullah for defamation or libel.

Could our Cambridge Double First graduate of law (picture above) who has many practical experiences and impressive records of success in this field kindly advice PM Abdullah as to his rights under the Common Law and the moral and political consequences of not taking legal actions to clear his name in court? Thank you in anticipation.
