GEORGE TOWN, Sept 30 ― The Penang High Court has set December 6 for the case management of Lim Guan Eng's two corruption charges after improper documents prevented the start today, said his lead counsel Gobind Singh Deo.
He told reporters in a brief press conference that the High Court judge Hadhariah Syed Ismail also decided that Lim and businesswoman Phang Li Khoon need not appear in court then.
“The A-G (Attorney-General) was supposed to serve us documents that are used for the charges, and they gave us a CD that contains 13,000 pages without index,” he said.
He explained that the lack of indexing made it difficult for them to collate the facts, and they have since requested that the AG submit the index for the documents.
“The judge has stressed on the importance of getting all the documents in order for the case,” he said.
Pathetic of the AG's office for poor documentation.

But maybe GE-14 will be held in Jan 2017 or even Dec 2016?
