The Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court dismissed the defence’s application for an arrest warrant to be issued against a key prosecution witness for not presenting a medical certificate (MC) during today’s proceedings, in the trial of former Penang chief minister Lim Guan Eng.

Judge Azura Alwi stated that Consortium Zenith Construction Sdn Bhd director Zarul Ahmad Mohd Zulkifli, 65, did not produce an MC just for today, and he usually provides one when he is unwell.
