Guan Eng graft trial: Witness changed stance after 11-day detention by MACC


KUALA LUMPUR: A key witness in the corruption trial involving Lim Guan Eng on the Penang undersea tunnel project testified in court that he changed his stance after his 11-day detention and investigation by the Malaysia Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) in January 2018.

Consortium Zenith Construction Sdn Bhd (CZC) senior executive director Datuk Zarul Ahmad Mohd Zulkifli said that what he said in a media interview in July of the same year about being pressured by individuals linked to the then Barisan Nasional government was a lie.
