Syed Saddiq makes second bid to impeach key prosecution witness

KUALA LUMPUR: Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman, who is facing charges of criminal breach of trust (CBT) and money laundering, is making a second attempt to impeach the credibility of a key witness again following discrepancies in the statement recorded by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) and his oral testimony in court.

This is the second bid by the defence to obtain leave to commence impeachment proceedings against Rafiq Hakim Razali, the former Angkatan Bersatu Anak Muda (Armada) assistant treasurer, after the High Court on July 18 this year, rejected the Muar MP's application to impeach the 13th prosecution witness following discrepancies in the latter's testimony on the withdrawal of RM1mil from Armada's bank account.
