Witness admits to contradictions in statements about RM3.5mil commission sought by Bung Moktar

KUALA LUMPUR: The main witness in the corruption trial involving Sabah Deputy Chief Minister Datuk Seri Bung Moktar Radin admitted in Sessions Court here on Tuesday (Dec 7) that there were contradictions between his testimony in court and his recorded statements provided by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC).

During a cross-examination by Deputy Public Prosecutor Law Chin How, Public Mutual Berhad investment agent Madhi Abdul Hamid, 43, agreed that there was a contradiction when he told the court there was no request for a commission by Bung Moktar at Hotel Continental on May 4, 2015, while his recorded statements in 2016 showed otherwise.
