00:10has refuted claims that former Auditor General Tanshri Dr. Medina Mohamad was denied the opportunity to testify before the commission.
00:19I mean, it is impossible to believe that we would not have called her to be before us.
00:26Our record showed, basically, and I've checked, that the infected facial was subpoenaed to appear before us on the 3rd
00:36of June of 2022.
00:40But she had requested not to come alone, but to be accompanied by her timbalan, which is one Mona Osman.
00:50He told reporters after attending a dialogue discussing the reality and future of TH in Bangi on Thursday.
00:58Rashid, who is also TH chairman, said the RCI examined witnesses on a one-to-one basis and subsequently called
01:06Mona to testify on June 2, 2022.
01:10He said Medina was also given the opportunity to provide her views through 75 questions submitted to her, which she
01:18answered under a statutory declaration.
01:20With the attachment letter that was also attached to the question, it is in our record of witnesses statement, so
01:30it is not true that she didn't have an opportunity to be represented.
01:37On August 25th, Medina said the RCI might have reached different findings had she been called to testify before the
01:45commission.
01:45She also said the 2017 Auditor General's report prepared by her team had not identified any evidence of direct theft
