KUALA LUMPUR: The prosecution of Lim Guan Eng's Penang undersea tunnel trial has handed over a forensic report from another court case that contained WhatsApp messages exchanged between two key witnesses.
Deputy Public Prosecutor Farah Yasmin Salleh told the Sessions Court that they have made the report available to Lim’s legal team on April 18.
Earlier, Lim's lead counsel Gobind Singh Deo had filed an application to adduce the forensic report, saying that the contents were crucial to proving that the money was not meant for or paid to his client. Zarul Ahmad is currently on the witness stand and Gnanaraja is expected to be called as a prosecution witness soon.
“The applicant succeeded in showing the court why the requests are necessary and desirable in the interest of the defence’s case and the application should be allowed,” she said.Lim, 62, is facing an amended charge of using his position as then-Penang chief minister to solicit RM3.3mil in bribes as an inducement to assist Consortium Zenith BUCG Sdn Bhd owner, Zarul Ahmad, to secure the project worth RM6,341,383,702.
