Prosecution objects to parts of Ahmad Zahid's press sec's testimony


KUALA LUMPUR: The prosecution in the corruption trial of Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi involving Yayasan Akalbudi (YAB) wants to omit parts of a witness statement by his press secretary that "attacked" the credibility of the prosecution's star witness.

Major General (R) Datuk Fadzlette Othman Merican Idris Merican, the second defence witness to testify, could only warm up the witness bench at the High Court on Monday (Sept 19) morning without reading her witness statement as Deputy Public Prosecutor Datuk Raja Rozela Raja Toran stood up to object.
