High Court dismisses Syed Saddiq's application to challenge credibility of key witness


KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court here dismissed on Monday (Aug 22) an application by the defence to challenge the credibility of a key prosecution witness in the trial of former Youth and Sports Minister Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman, who is facing charges of criminal breach of trust (CBT) and money laundering.

The defence wanted to challenge the credibility of the 13th prosecution witness, Rafiq Hakim Razali, who is the former Angkatan Bersatu Anak Muda (Armada) assistant treasurer, following discrepancies between his testimony in court and the statement recorded from him by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) in 2020 on the withdrawal of RM1mil from Armada’s bank account.
