KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 17 — The defence in former chief minister Lim Guan Eng’s corruption case over the Penang undersea tunnel project today claimed three prosecution witnesses had given “untruthful” evidence linked to the ongoing trial in another concluded court case.
Gnanaraja was charged with allegedly deceiving Zarul Ahmad into believing that he could help the latter close the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission investigation against Zarul Ahmad, linked to the same undersea project. Previously, Zarul Ahmad testified how terms such as ‘chocolate’ were used to refer to the cash bribes allegedly given to Lim and how a total of RM2 million were given to Gnanaraja for safekeeping during a meeting at Eastin Hotel, Petaling Jaya in August 2017.
Deputy public prosecutor Datuk Wan Shaharuddin Wan Ladin stood in response to object Gobind’s request, further arguing the defence was attempting to discredit the aforementioned three witnesses since they were absent from court. “But Yang Arif, what is most startling is my learned friend’s response for us to make an application. But why should we make an application when there is an order?
Earlier, MACC forensics department investigation officer Wan Mohd Firdaus Wan Yusof, was recalled for cross-examination by the defence over the veracity of the WhatsApp conversation between Zarul Ahmad and Gnanaraja.
