Lawyer Zahid Will Be Denied Fair Trial If Court Rejects Fadzlette S Statement


 



The defence in the corruption trial of Ahmad Zahid Hamidi related to the Akalbudi Foundation (YAB) today contended that the former deputy prime minister will be deprived of a fair trial if the court accepts the prosecution’s argument and stops a defence witness from testifying.
Zahid’s counsel Hisyam Teh Poh Teik said this would lead to a breach of his client’s right to a fair trial which is guaranteed under Article 5 of the Federal Constitution.
He submitted that the statement by the 90th prosecution witness, Zahid’s former executive secretary, Major Mazlina Mazlan @ Ramly has been challenged by the defence and her position conceded by the prosecution.
“(The) witness statement by Major General (R) Fadzlette Othman Merican Idris Merican, the second defence witness, should be allowed as long as it had nexus to facts and issues relevant to the charges,” he said before High Court judge Collin Lawrence Sequerah.
Hisyam said Fadzlette wants to describe how she came to know Mazlina and described her working behaviour.
“She wants to give the example of how Mazlina tends to work in a silo, which is relevant to the case. The witness also wants to show that Mazlina is biased against the accused,” he said, adding that Mazlina failed to follow orders and was an untrustworthy person.
Meanwhile, lead prosecutor Raja Rozela Raja Toran submitted that the defence cannot use the provision under Section 153 (2) of the Evidence Act 1950 because it must show that Mazlina is biased against Zahid.
She said the evidence that Mazlina did not obey the instructions and made her own decisions was not included in the provision because it did not show that the prosecution witness had bad motives for Zahid.
“How can this evidence, if accepted by the court, show that Mazlina did not receive instructions when she only dealt with Zahid and not Fadzlette? While in this case, the second witness (Fadzlette) was only concerned about the issue of Mazlina disrespecting him," he said.
Judge Sequerah then fixed tomorrow to deliver his ruling on Fadzlette.
Yesterday, the prosecution objected to a part of the witness statement by Fadzlette contending that it is irrelevant and inadmissible.
Fadzlette was scheduled to testify at the trial yesterday. She was press secretary to Zahid when he was deputy prime minister, and she is now the media director for the Umno president.
On Aug 30, Zahid completed giving evidence to defend himself after 17 days on the witness stand.
Zahid, 69, is facing 47 charges, namely 12 charges of criminal breach of trust, eight charges of corruption and 27 charges of money laundering involving tens of millions of ringgit belonging to YAB.
