: The key prosecution witness in Lim Guan Eng ’s corruption case informed the Sessions Court here that he withheld the former Penang Chief Minister ’s name when providing information to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission in 2018.
Zarul Ahmad said this when lawyer Haijan Omar, who represented Lim, challenged the witness’ credibility before Judge Azura Alwi today. In response to another question, the witness said, “It is true that I disclosed everything I know, but I was told it was a special investigation, so I was instructed to respond only to the specific questions asked.
“I believe all of the RM19 million was indeed channeled to Datuk Seri Najib through Gnanaraja, although I have never met Najib. I only realised I was duped after the MACC investigated and found out Najib didn’t take the money,“ Zarul Ahmad said. According to the first amended charge, Lim, 63, is alleged of using his position as chief minister of Penang at the time to receive bribes amounting to RM3.3 million, by helping a company owned by Zarul Ahmad to be appointed to implement a highway and undersea tunnel project in Penang worth RM6,341,383,702.
