KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 5 — A key prosecution witness in the corruption trial of Lim Guan Eng told the Sessions Court here today that he was prepared to 'pay off' then prime minister...

Yes, to protect Lim Guan Eng.I put it to you that your evidence does not make any sense. If you wanted to protect someone, you would not approach their arch-rival, the very same people who were attacking your [undersea] project in Penang.Still under cross-examination, Zarul Ahmad was further grilled by the defence over his preparedness to commit a criminal offence for the sake of protecting someone.

Earlier, Zarul Ahmad also affirmed in court that he was constantly"attacked" by the Opposition in Penang composed of those from the BN bloc due to his links with the undersea project and sought information from him to be used against Lim. Lim is facing an amended charge of using his position as Penang chief minister back then to receive a bribe of RM3.3 million in helping the company owned by Zarul Ahmad to obtain a construction project worth RM6,341,383,702.
