Prosecution closes case in Guan Eng’s undersea tunnel graft trial
A total of 39 witnesses have given evidence since the trial started on July 13, 2021.
The prosecution concluded its case in the high-profile graft trial against former Penang chief minister Lim Guan Eng, who faces numerous charges related to the undersea tunnel project. Over five years, 39 witnesses testified before the sessions court judge Azura Alwi, with the final witness set to be the Penang Island City Council mayor, Rajendran Anthony.
Both the prosecution and defense are now tasked with filing their final submissions by January 13, 2027, with further clarification hearings scheduled for January 26 and 27. Lim is alleged to have sought a 10% share of the project's profits and received RM3.3 million in bribes from businessman Zarul Ahmad Zulkifli, alongside two charges of misappropriating state land worth RM208.7 million.
