KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 19 — The High Court should reject parts of testimony from Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi’s press secretary, Maj Gen Datuk Fadzlette Othman Merican Idris Merican, attacking the credibility of a key witness in a trial against the former deputy prime minister, the prosecution said today.
Lead prosecutor Datuk Raja Rozela Raja Toran objected, however, to several paragraphs of the statement, saying these were irrelevant to the charges against Ahmad Zahid and should not be accepted by the High Court as evidence. Ahmad Zahid’s former executive secretary Mazlina was a star witness for the prosecution as its 90th witness, but Ahmad Zahid and his lawyers have consistently tried to pin the blame on her for the use of Yayasan Akalbudi’s cheques for purposes such as paying the credit card bills for Ahmad Zahid and his wife.
“The statements must be relevant to the facts, whether the facts in issue or facts relevant to the facts in issue in this case. Ahmad Zahid’s lead defence lawyer, Datuk Hisyam Teh Poh Teik, then requested for time to prepare a response to the prosecution’s objection to parts of Fadzlette’s written witness statement as the defence was not given earlier notice of the objection, suggesting that he could return tomorrow morning to present the arguments.
