Alleged match-fixer chooses to remain silent

ALLEGED match-fixer Eric Ding Si Yang chose not to give evidence in his own defence, as his long-running corruption trial resumed.

He did so even though District Judge Toh Yung Cheong had ruled in March that the prosecution had established a prima facie case, which meant there was enough evidence to proceed with the trial. Without his testimony, the court may draw an adverse inference against Ding.
