KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 15 — The trial of Lim Guan Eng for the Penang undersea tunnel project at the Sessions Court here has been suspended today so that the defence can get notes from a separate court proceeding that could exonerate the former chief minister of purportedly receiving RM2 million in bribes.

He further explained to the court on the defence initially obtaining a copy of the Court Recording and Transcription involving witness testimonies from the Shah Alam case and transcribed their own, but this had been subsequently disputed by the prosecution. In Shah Alam, Gnanaraja was charged with allegedly deceiving Zarul Ahmad over RM19 million – of which the RM2 million is part of it — into believing that he could help the latter close the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission investigation linked to the same undersea project.

The defence had previously contended the report of WhatsApp messages submitted by the prosecution as evidence was truncated and not in full as only messages after August 18, 2017 were produced. After hearing submissions, Session Court judge Azura Alwi later fixed March 1 for parties to update the court.
