: A witness told the Sessions Court here today that Lim Guan Eng would award him a project for constructing main roads and an undersea tunnel in Penang through direct negotiations, provided he could arrange a signing ceremony for a memorandum of understanding between the state government and a company from China.
On March 24, 2022, Zarul Ahmad told the court that Lim was pleased when the MOU signing ceremony between the state government and Beijing Urban Construction Group on the mega project relating to the roads and undersea tunnel worth RM6.34 billion was witnessed by the prime ministers of Malaysia and China.
He also agreed with the DPP’s question that a MACC investigating officer had informed him about a special investigation into a corruption case involving Lim, and that he had provided detailed information to the commission regarding the case.Muhyiddin’s slanderous remarks portray Lim Guan Eng as someone who abused power, position - Lawyer
“The witness is relevant to be called because Zarul Ahmad mentioned Ng’s name during the proceedings challenging his credibility. If the investigating officer is summoned, he can clarify whether he instructed Zarul Ahmad to provide separate statements for the Gnanaraja and Lim Guan Eng cases,” he said.
Lim is alleged to have committed the act between January 2011 and August 2017 at the Penang Chief Minister’s Office.
