I don’t know why company director amended statement to MACC, says IO
Zulhilmi Ramli says the cheating case involving businessman G Gnanaraja was not part of his investigation into former Penang chief minister Lim Guan Eng.
Former Penang chief minister Lim Guan Eng faces accusations of soliciting a 10% share of profits from the undersea tunnel project, receiving RM3.3 million in bribes, and misappropriating state land worth RM208.7 million. The investigating officer, Zulhilmi Ramli, expressed confusion as to why businessman Zarul Ahmad Zulkifli amended his statements to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) in a different cheating investigation.
The case involving businessman G Gnanaraja is not part of Zulhilmi's investigation into Lim, according to Zulhilmi. However, lawyer Ramkarpal Singh criticized Zulhilmi for "neglecting" his duty. Ramkarpal pointed out that Zarul provided conflicting statements in the investigations concerning a RM2 million sum - one to the Gnanaraja case and another to Lim's corruption case.
Zulhilmi stated that he had already recorded statements from Zarul and other witnesses as part of his investigation. The trial continues on October 27.
