Guan Eng’s lawyers reject false link to witness’s robbery, stress clear police findings

AI Summary

Lawyers for Malaysian MP Lim Guan Eng criticized media reports linking him to a robbery involving a prosecution witness in his ongoing corruption trial. They called the reports "premature and misleading," especially criticizing the lead prosecutor for making prejudicial comments before the police investigation concluded. Petaling Jaya police confirmed the incident as a "clear-cut robbery" unrelated to witness tampering. Lim's lawyers will address this issue in court on August 19 and urged media outlets to practice responsible reporting.
