KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 21 (Bernama) –– Lawyer Datuk V. K. Lingam today denied that he
was speaking to former chief justice Tun Ahmad Fairuz Sheikh Abdul Halim on the
telephone in the controversial video clip.
Lingam, 57, who took the witness stand before the Royal Commission of Inquiry,
said he never had Ahmad Fairuz's telephone number and neither did Ahmad Fairuz
have his telephone number.
"Until today I have never spoken to Ahmad Fairuz on the phone," Lingam said when
questioned by conducting officer Datuk Nordin Hassan on whom he was speaking to
on the telephone in the video clip.
"It looks like me," said Lingam when asked whether he was the man having a
telephone conversation in the video clip.
"You (Nordin) can ask me a hundred questions (on the same matter), I will tell
you the same answer. It looks like me," he reiterated.
Asked whether he knew the person who recorded the video clip, Lingam said he did
not.
It is not Ahmad Fairuz, says Lingam
