KUALA LUMPUR – The Sessions Court today granted Lim Guan Eng’s (picture) application to obtain a forensic report of WhatsApp conversations between two businessmen in a corruption case involving the former Penang Chief Minister.
Judge Azura Alwi made the decision after finding that there were two different testimonies in two courts involving the same payment voucher and cheque as to who received the RM2 million and the purpose of the payment.
Azura said based on the notes of proceedings and written statements of the witnesses in Shah Alam court, that had been produced as exhibits in the application, the court found that the applicant (Lim) had successfully proved the fact that payment vouchers and Public Bank cheques were used to withdraw the RM2 million, which was said to have been handed over to businessman G. Gnanaraja.
“In the case before this court (Sessions Court), the evidence also showed that the same payment voucher and cheque had also been submitted and had been marked as exhibits P140 and P141, and that the RM2 million was said to have been handed over to the accused (Lim).
“The evidence also showed that there was a discussion about the money (RM2 million) through a WhatsApp conversation between Consortium Zenith Construction Sdn Bhd (CZCSB) director Datuk Zarul Ahmad Mohd Zulkifli and Gnanaraja,” she said. – Bernama / pic TMR File
