Facing the law: Lim arriving for
the first day
of his trial at
the Sessions Court in Kuala Lumpur.
KUALA LUMPUR: Men’s socks turned out to be a hot topic of discussion on the first day of Lim Guan Eng’s corruption trial.
The subject arose when deputy public prosecutor Wan Shaharuddin Wan Ladin presented several pictures to the first witness, actress and businesswoman Datuk K. Geethanjali Gausillia, 35, asking her to identify the people in the pictures and whether they were wearing shoes or socks.
After he had gone through a few pictures, with Geethanjali saying the men were wearing socks, Lim’s defence counsel Gobind Singh Deo interjected to ask if this was relevant to the case.
