KUALA LUMPUR (March 3): Sessions Court judge Azura Alwi has directed that the corruption trial involving Lim Guan Eng over the Penang undersea tunnel and major roads project, currently at the prosecution stage, be concluded by June this year. "Only this witness (Gnanaraja) and the investigating officer remain for cross-examination. Earlier during cross-examination, an unwell Gnanaraja questioned defence counsel Tiara Katrina Fuad's line of questioning for raising the same issues. Ramkarpal then interjected: "I think it's about time the court takes control of proceedings, not the witness. Additionally, Lim faces two charges of disposing of a couple of state-owned lots of land in Penang, valued at RM208.8 million, to a developer linked to the undersea tunnel project.
