PUTRAJAYA: The Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) is expected to close its proceedings Tuesday after calling its 25th witness here. The RCI called its last witness Rizal Ishak, who testified that his father, former auditor-general Tan Sri Ishak Tadin, was unable to appear before the panel due to his health. He is 85 years old but when asked, he’ll say that he’s 70,” Rizal said. RCI panel chairman Tan Sri Sidek Hassan later ordered for the parties involved to submit their written submissions on Thursday. Previous witnesses who appeared before the RCI include former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, former deputy prime minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, former finance minister Tun Daim Zainuddin, and former Bank Negara governor Tan Sri Dr Zeti Akhtar Aziz.
