Court dismisses Guan Eng’s contempt bid against Machang MP Wan Ahmad Fayhsal over Penang undersea tunnel trial posts on social mediaKUALA LUMPUR, Oct 9 — The Sessions Court here today dismissed an application by former Penang chief minister Lim Guan Eng to initiate contempt of court proceedings against Wan Ahmad Fayhsal Wan Ahmad Kamal over the latter’s response on social media regarding the ongoing Penang undersea tunnel trial.
Earlier, lawyer RSN Rayer, representing Lim, said Wan Ahmad Fayhsal had made a statement about the ongoing Penang undersea tunnel trial on his Instagram and X application. Azura also dismissed an application by the prosecution to summon Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission investigating officer Ng Weng Jun, who investigated the case related to the undersea tunnel project involving businessman G. Gnanaraja, to testify in the proceedings to challenge the credibility of Consortium Zenith Construction Sdn Bhd director Datuk Zarul Ahmad Mohd Zulkifli as a witness.
“The court found that at this stage, Section 425 of the Criminal Procedure Code should not be used by the prosecution to call the witness,” said Azura who then set October 23 to continue the proceedings challenging the credibility of the witness. On the second amended charge, Lim is alleged to have sought a bribe of 10 per cent of the profits from Zarul Ahmad as an inducement to help the businessman’s company be appointed for the same project.
