KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 20 — Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi’s former executive secretary Major Mazlina Mazlan @ Ramly is biased against her former employer and should be seen as someone who will not testify truthfully in his trial, his lawyer said today.
Ahmad Zahid’s lead defence lawyer Datuk Hisyam Teh Poh Teik today tried to justify why Fadzlette’s court testimony — which the prosecution says was aimed at attacking Mazlina’s credibility — should be accepted in full by the High Court.

Hisyam argued that Section 153 cannot be used to strike out or to remove the disputed parts of Fadzlette’s testimony, claiming that what Fadzlette had mentioned regarding Mazlina are core issues or main issues related to the criminal breach of trust charges against Ahmad Zahid. Raja Rozela argued that the defence’s sole purpose of introducing Fadzlette as a witness is to tell the court that Mazlina is allegedly not a good person and complains about petty things, but said such matters are collateral matters or not the main issues in the case and should not be accepted by the High Court as evidence.
“What Exception 2 talks about is about circumstances where a witness came to court to say that he is biased, or he was corrupted, or he was forced to give evidence against the other party, and there is none in the evidence before Your Lordship. “The court must not be influenced by the challenge on her character, because Major Mazlina’s credibility has already been challenged in cross-examination. The question has been asked whether the accused gave her instructions, questions had been asked about cheques and she answered. Those questions and answers in cross-examination is sufficient for Your Lordship to make a finding whether or not she is a credible witness, and the buck stops there,” she said.
