  "account": "In a recent hearing at the Sessions Court in Kuala Lumpur, investigators in the Pulau Pinang Land Grab Scandal case informed the court that they are unsure why Zarul Ahmad Zulkifli, associated with the company Zarul Ahmad Berhad, changed his testimony to the Malaysia Anti-Corruption Agency (SPRM). Zulhilmi Ramli, one of the investigators, stated that the case of fraud involving businessman G Gnanaraja is separate from their investigation into the former Pulau Pinang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng, who is accused of misappropriation of funds and unjustifiable use of state-owned land.\n\nHowever, attorney Ramkarpal Singh accused Zulhilmi of being careless in her duty to investigate Zarul's testimony in the Gnanaraja fraud case. Ramkarpal pointed out that Zarul made conflicting statements in both the Lim and Gnanaraja investigations, including the allegation that RM2 million was offered to former Prime Minister Najib Razak during the Gnanaraja fraud case, while also claiming the same amount was offered to Lim Guan Eng in his corruption case.\n\nZulhilmi explained that she documented Zarul's statements and those of other witnesses as part of her investigation. However, Ramkarpal maintained that Zulhilmi was careless in her duty and that no proper investigation was conducted on Zarul. Assistant prosecutor Wan Shaharuddin Wan Ladin advised the attorney to allow witnesses to answer questions before making statements. Judge Azura Alwi also advised Ramkarpal not to continue changing questions before the witness had a chance to answer. The trial continued on October 27th.",
