KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court here rejected Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman’s application to impeach a key witness’ credibility in his criminal breach of trust (CBT) and money laundering trial.

application to impeach a key witness’ credibility in his criminal breach of trust and money laundering trial.

"I agree with the submission advanced by the prosecution that the statement which the defence sought to rely on is not a witness statement defined under Section 402 Criminal Procedural Code . On July 7, counsel Gobind Singh Deo, who represented Syed Saddiq, said the court could use its discretion to allow the defence to start proceedings to challenge Rafiq Hakim's credibility because the document referred to, namely the witness statement, was not tendered in court by the prosecution.

Wan Shaharuddin, however, objected as there was no longer a need to challenge the credibility of the 13th prosecution witness as he had admitted to the court that there was a little discrepancy between his oral testimony in court and his written witness statement.
