KUALA LUMPUR: “I’m not stupid,” stressed Datuk Seri Mahdzir Khalid, as the defence continued to accuse him of giving inconsistent statements in court at Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor’s corruption trial. During cross-examination, Jagjit pointed out to Mahdzir that he was trying to help Jepak Holdings to obtain approval for the project. Mahdzir: I’m not stupid. Defence counsel Datuk Akberdin Abdul Kader said Mahdzir made Najib a “black sheep” in this case, which Mahdzir denied. To this, Akberdin said the defence was trying to establish whether Mahdzir knew Jepak Holdings was facing financial difficulties.
