I’m not stupid, says Mahdzir


KUALA LUMPUR: “I’m not stupid,” stressed Datuk Seri Mahdzir Khalid (pic), as the defence continued to accuse him of giving inconsistent statements in court at Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor’s corruption trial.

Tensions flared yesterday as lead counsel Datuk Jagjit Singh spent hours trying to paint the former education minister as being in cahoots with Jepak Holdings Sdn Bhd managing director Saidi Abang Samsudin and his business partner Rayyan Radzwill Abdullah to get approval for a solar hybrid project in Sarawak despite stating the opposite in his witness statement.
