I would 'do anything' to protect Guan Eng, including bribery, says witness

During the cross-examination by Lim’s counsel Gobind Singh Deo on Friday (Aug 5), Consortium Zenith Construction Sdn Bhd (CZC) senior executive director Datuk Zarul Ahmad Mohd Zulkifli said that he was willing to bribe the prime minister to close the graft probe into the planned RM6.3bil project.
