This afternoon, deputy public prosecutor Datuk Raja Rozela Raja Toran applied to amend all 12 criminal breach of trust charges and two of the bribery charges.

Raja Rozela said that the evidence in the trial so far had shown that Yayasan Akalbudi’s property was indirectly entrusted to Zahid as a member of the Yayasan Akalbudi’s board of trustee, and that such indirect entrustment enabled him to exercise dominion or control over Yayasan Akalbudi’s property. “The proposed amendments, we humbly submit, will not give rise to any new salient facts. And as such I humbly submit there is no real risk of prejudice against the accused in making these amendments,” she said, also noting that Zahid as the accused still has the right under Section 162 of the Criminal Procedure Code to recall any witnesses in the trial.

The contract was for the government’s procurement of the supply of 12.5 million passport chips or passport chips for five years, with the proposed amendment to remove the word “additional” before the word “supply”.
