Philip Fong, managing partner of Eversheds Harry Elias and lawyer for Quah, one of the two alleged masterminds on trial, tried to get Lee to agree that his client was merely an intermediary. But Lee was adamant in denying the assertion that Quah did not play an active role in getting him a job at Sino Construction (now known as MMP Resources) and negotiating his salary.
SINGAPORE (May 13): Four of the six prosecution witnesses who have testified so far at the trial of John Soh Chee Wen and Quah Su-Ling have been remisiers. The two who took the stand last week, however, stood up significantly better than the earlier two under cross-examination by the defence lawyers.
The first two, Jack Ng Kit Kiat and Alex Chew Keng Chiow, had been meek and hesitant during cross-examination. Andy Lee, previously with Lim and Tan, and Angelia Poon Mei Choo, of OCBC Securities, stood their ground, however, and talked back when grilled by the defence lawyers.
