KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court here dismissed on Monday (Aug 22) an application by the defence to challenge the credibility of a key prosecution witness in the trial of former Youth and Sports Minister Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman, who is facing charges of criminal breach of trust (CBT) and money laundering.

The defence wanted to challenge the credibility of the 13th prosecution witness, Rafiq Hakim Razali, who is the former Angkatan Bersatu Anak Muda assistant treasurer, following discrepancies between his testimony in court and the statement recorded from him by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission in 2020 on the withdrawal of RM1mil from Armada’s bank account.

"After examining the oral testimony and recording of the witness' conversation, the court found that there were minor differences which are not of material or serious contradictions. Lawyer Gobind Singh Deo, representing Syed Saddiq, then requested that a copy of the witness statement that was recorded by MACC be handed over to the defence and the court set this afternoon to hear the application.On July 25, the High Court ordered the prosecution to give a copy of the witness statement recorded by the MACC in 2020 to the court for scrutiny and consideration.

Tunku HRHJohorII, kalau betulla syed saddiq ni menentang rasuah, kenapa idolakan mahathir? mahathir suruh buat ini, syed saddiq pun buat. Buat itu, dia pun ikut je lah.

Tunku HRHJohorII, Janji Syed Saddiq nak bina 1,000 buah rumah di Muar pun belum dilunaskan. Sampai sekarang, bayang tiang rumah pun tak nampak. Mana semua kata-kata manis Syed Saddiq, banyak kali dah 'kencing' rakyat dia ni.

HRHJohorII, apa sebenarnya cuba Syed buktikan melalui penampilan khasnya itu? Ng Yap Hwa mengatakan Syed sebelum ini juga pernah mengalu-alukan kehadiran 'katak politik' dalam Bersatu serta MUDA.
