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, Azman Yusoff, testified in the corruption trial of former Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin, stating that he had a meeting with Yassin at a golf club in Damansara in July 2020. However, during cross-examination, his lawyer, Amer Hamzah Arshad, disputed this account. Amer pointed out that the only golf tournament organized by the Tan Sri Muhyiddin Charity Golf (TSMCG) in 2020 took place in October, not July.
Azman initially claimed the meeting occurred in May 2020 but later amended the date to July 2020 in a supplementary statement. Amer questioned Azman's decision to change the date, given that he could have verified the tournament date prior to 2026. Despite multiple attempts to confirm the details, Azman still maintained the narrative that the meeting happened in May 2020.
The trial, led by Deputy Public Prosecutor Wan Shaharuddin Wan Ladin, continues with Muhyiddin facing corruption charges and money laundering allegations.
