In an unexpected move, prosecutors in the sex-for-contracts trial involving former anti-narcotics chief Ng Boon Gay yesterday turned against their own star witness.
Deputy Public Prosecutor Tan Ken Hwee accused former IT sales manager Cecilia Sue of lying, given the wide discrepancies between what she told investigators and what she has said in court. As a result of the turn of events, Ms Sue will be in court for a fifth day today, and will be questioned again by Ng's lawyer, Senior Counsel Tan Chee Meng.
Ms Sue, 36, said in statements to the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau (CPIB) that she and Ng had been lovers between 2009 and late 2010. When she became pregnant, she wondered if the baby might be his.
But under questioning by defence counsel last week, she insisted that there was never any relationship, and said Ng had forced her to perform oral sex on him.
