Lawyer challenges timeline in Muhyiddin golf club meeting claim
A legal representative has disputed allegations that a businessman met former Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin at a golf club, contending that a golf tournament took place in October rather than the months previously claimed.

The lawyer argued that a golf championship organised by TSMCG in 2020 was held in October, contradicting earlier assertions that the meeting occurred in May or July, according to court proceedings.
The defence team's challenge to the timeline raises questions about the accuracy of the initial allegations regarding the alleged encounter at the golf facility. The distinction in dates could prove significant to the case's overall credibility.
The legal challenge highlights how specific details regarding the timing of events can become focal points in cases involving high-profile political figures. The outcome of this dispute over the tournament's actual date may influence the direction of the broader investigation or legal proceedings.
No further details regarding the nature of the alleged meeting or its relevance to ongoing inquiries were immediately available. The case continues to develop as both the defence and prosecution present their respective evidence and arguments.
