Witness left out key info, court told

KUALA LUMPUR: A key prosecution witness in the corruption trial of Lim Guan Eng has revealed that he did not disclose that the accused allegedly asked for 10% of future profits from the Penang undersea tunnel project’s value to the anti-graft body in his 2018 statement.

Consortium Zenith Construction Sdn Bhd (CZCSB) executive director Datuk Zarul Ahmad Mohd Zulkifli told the Sessions Court that his omission was due to his “focus” on the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission’s (MACC) investigation of businessman G. Gnanaraja.
