Former Transport Minister and MCA president Ling Liong Sik has applied for the case against him to be transferred to the High Court in Kuala Lumpur.
Asked about Dr Mahathir's willingness to testify in his case, Dr Ling expressed his gratitude to his former boss, saying, "I must say thank you very much because that is very generous. He chaired the cabinet meeting. I'm being charged for cheating the whole cabinet, including him. So all those witnesses are very important. If they were cheated, then I'm guilty. If they were not cheated, then there is a trial."
In response to comments that he is merely a scapegoat in the case, Dr Ling shot back "when you are in Palace of Justice, don't talk of scapegoats".
Earlier, before he went into the court room, he told reporters that he hoped to be vindicated as soon as possible, saying, "When you are in the Palace of Justice, you must have confidence."
