Lawyer disputes businessman’s account of Muhyiddin meeting at golf club
Defence counsel Amer Hamzah Arshad says the only tournament organised by the Tan Sri Muhyiddin Charity Golf was held in October 2020, not in May or July that year, as claimed.
A businessman testified in the corruption trial of former Malaysian Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin that the two met in a private setting at a golf club in July 2020. However, the High Court heard that Azman Yusoff, the businessman, was disputing his own account of the meeting. Amer Hamzah Arshad, Muhyiddin's counsel, questioned Azman about the meeting during cross-examination.
Amer challenged Azman on the dates claimed in his testimony, pointing out that the only golf tournament organized by TSMCG in 2020 occurred in October, not July. Azman later admitted he was not certain about the dates and questioned the necessity of verifying the tournament date multiple times over the years. The trial, led by Deputy Public Prosecutor Wan Shaharuddin Wan Ladin, continues.
