KUALA LUMPUR: The defence in former youth and sports minister Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman’s trial has failed to obtain a copy of the statement recorded by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) from a key witness in the case.

This followed a decision by High Court Judicial Commissioner Datuk Azhar Abdul Hamid in dismissing the application by Syed Saddiq’s lawyer Gobind Singh Deo on Tuesday (Aug 23).
