Herwadey Hashim, 45, the former senior private secretary to Azlan, was testifying during re-examination by deputy public prosecutor Noralis Mat. Herwadey said Azlan provided him with the telephone number of the company's owner, Shafie Ismail, the prosecution's tenth witness, to arrange Azlan's overseas travel. "At first, I understood that En Shafie was the owner of Sri Kedawang. On Dec 3 last year, Herwadey told the court that Azlan had recommended Sri Kedawang for overseas travel arrangements, as he had used their services while serving at Wisma Putra and found it to be excellent. He also agreed that, in practice, his actions in making these travel arrangements were lawful and did not breach any regulations.
