KUALA LUMPUR, April 4 — 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.
Haijan: Do you agree with me that you didn’t mention Gnanaraja’s role in relation to Lim in your statement to the MACC because MACC officials prevented you from doing so? Zarul Ahmad said he discovered he had been deceived by Gnanaraja after the RM19 million, intended to be channelled to Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak to bolster relations before the 14th General Election and to safeguard his company from allegations, was not transferred by the businessman as agreed upon.
Zarul Ahmad disagreed with the lawyer’s suggestion that his statement to the MACC conflicted with his testimony in court. For 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.
