[UPDATED] Prosecution witness in Guan Eng trial attacked in home
KUALA LUMPUR: A key prosecution witness in Lim Guan Eng's corruption trial was attacked by 10 men who stormed his home near Petaling Jaya today. The victim sustained multiple injuries to his face and hand after the assailants forced their way into his home, according to a source close to the trial. The attackers reportedly tied up two security guards before entering the house. "The attackers also warned him just to stay at home and not become a hero," said the source. When contacted, Petaling Jaya police chief Assistant Commissioner Shahrulnizam Ja'afar confirmed the incident and said a statement would be released soon. The lead prosecutor in Lim's case, Datuk Wan Shahruddin Wan Ladin, meanwhile said the prosecution would raise the matter when the trial resumes on Aug 19. Lim, who is also the DAP adviser, is facing multiple corruption charges at the Sessions Court in relation to the Penang Undersea Tunnel project. He is accused of using his position as the then Penang chief minister to solicit gratification to help Consortium Zenith Construction Sdn Bhd (CZCSB) director Datuk Zarul Ahmad Mohd Zulkifli secure the project. Lim was alleged to have sought 10 per cent of the company's profit from Zarul. He was also accused of receiving RM3.3 million for himself and causing two plots of state government land to be disposed of to two companies linked to the project.

Defence closes case in Zayn Rayyan child neglect trial
PETALING JAYA: The defence team for the mother of Zayn Rayyan Abdul Matin, charged with neglect resulting in physical harm to her six-year-old autistic son, has closed its case after calling five witnesses. Defence counsel Haresh Mahadevan, representing Ismanira Abdul Manaf, 30, informed the Sessions Court that the defence was closing its case after the testimony of child psychologist Dr Noor Aishah Rosli, 49, who took the stand yesterday. 'The defence has no further witnesses, and we close our case,' he said. Judge Dr Syahliza Warnoh fixed Sept 8 for written submissions from both parties, Sept 22 for oral replies and Oct 31 for the verdict. Ismanira testified in her own defence for three days. Dr Noor Aishah testified that stressful WhatsApp messages from the accused were normal expressions from a mother caring for an autistic child. 'From a psychological perspective, these should not be viewed as an intention to commit a crime. If you ask anyone, it's common for messages to a spouse to contain harsh words, but without any intent behind them,' she said during examination-in-chief by Haresh, Bernama reported. She described the messages as Ismanira's way of expressing affection for her son while venting to her husband, who was at work at the time. Dr Noor Aishah said the texts were emotional outbursts and light-hearted remarks and not to be taken seriously, with no indication of malicious intent.
