KUALA LUMPUR, June 24 ― A key prosecution witness in the corruption trial of Lim Guan Eng testified in the Sessions Court today that he gave a luxury timepiece worth RM43,000 and RM100,000 as “birthday gifts” to the former chief minister in 2015.
“And then I told YB Lim I brought presents for him in conjunction with his birthday. Said presents were RM100,000 inside an envelope and a timepiece inside a wrapped box,” he said in his witness statement, adding that Lim seemed happy with his gift. Continuing from his testimony a day before, Zarul Ahmad testified he gave Lim a total of RM3.3 million on several occasions from 2013 to 2017.
On the fourth occasion, Zarul Ahmad said he gave RM100,000 the following year in December 2015 — also in conjunction with Lim’s birthday — but noted that the money was not accepted as mentioned earlier. “After I handed over the bag to YB Lim, he received the bag and placed it on the floor next to his feet. He did not ask the contents within.On the sixth occasion, Zarul Ahmad said he gave another RM500,000 kept inside a haversack to Lim between April and May 2016.
Zarul Ahmad conceded that if the aforementioned megaproject had not been awarded to him, he would not have given Lim the money.
