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.
The investigating officer in the Penang undersea tunnel project project was surprised to learn why businessman Zarul Ahmad Zulkifli amended his statements to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission. The officer told the sessions court that Zarul's actions were unrelated to his investigation into former Penang chief minister Lim Guan Eng.
However, lawyer Ramkarpal Singh criticized the officer for not considering Zarul's conflicting statements in relation to a RM2 million sum. According to the lawyer, Zarul claimed the money was given to former prime minister Najib Razak in the cheating case involving Gnanaraja, while also asserting it had been given to Lim in the corruption case.
The investigating officer stated he had recorded Zarul's and other witnesses' statements as part of his investigation. The lawyer argued that the officer had neglected his duty, suggesting no proper investigation had been conducted into Zarul. The trial continued on October 27.
