Witness admits contradictions about RM3.5m commission sought by Bung Moktar

The main witness in the corruption trial involving Sabah deputy chief minister Bung Moktar Radin admitted in Sessions Court here today that there were contradictions between his testimony in court and his recorded statements provided by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC).

During cross-examination by deputy public prosecutor Law Chin How, Public Mutual Berhad investment agent Madhi Abdul Hamid, 43, agreed that there was a contradiction when he told the court there was no request for a commission by Bung Moktar at Hotel Continental on May 4, 2015, while his recorded statements in 2016 showed otherwise.
