‘Conflicting statements made’


KUALA LUMPUR: The defence has applied for a copy of the main witness’ statement recorded by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) in the investigation of a corruption case involving former Penang chief minister Lim Guan Eng and a businessman.

Lim’s lawyer, Gobind Singh Deo, said the document was needed to initiate the proceedings to challenge the credibility of the witness, Consortium Zenith Construction Sdn Bhd (CZCSB) director Datuk Zarul Ahmad Mohd Zulkifli, as there were conflicting statements in his testimony in court.
