12:15pm: Court breaks for lunch. Proceedings resume at 2pm.
11:40am: To a question by Abd Razak, Anuar tells the court that an MACC officer, Bulkani Paharuddin had told him that another witness Tan Boon Wah, was arguing with Teoh in the men’s room of the MACC office at about 2am on July 16. Tan, who is a Kajang Municipal councillor, was one of the four witnesses present at MACC that night.
11:30am: Anuar says he didn’t lodge a police report straightaway after finding Teoh’s body because he believed that the first person who found Teoh had done so. At the time when he saw the body, there were already many people gathering on the fifth floor of the building.
11:22am: Anuar explains to the court the reason why MACC conducts night interrogation. He says in some investigations, witnesses who hold day jobs choose to be interrogated at night so it will not interfere with their work. Some witnesses choose not to be seen at MACC building for their own reasons so they choose night time to record their statement with MACC. Anuar adds the MACC office is open 24 hours.
11:10am: Court resumes
10:25am: Court takes a short recess.
10:20am: Tan Hock Chuan asks for a short break for all interested parties to have a discussion. Gobind objects again, saying, “No, the damage has been done. The allegations about DAP has been put on record. Teoh did nothing wrong. This inquest has turned into a corruption trial of Teoh Beng Hock.”
10:10am: Gobind gets up to object. He says Abd Razak has breached what was agreed yesterday, which was for the inquest to stay within the statement taken from Mohd Anuar by investigating officer ASP Ahmad Nazri Zainal. Gobind says Abd Razak is using the inquest as a platform to talk about the entire investigation by MACC. “We have nothing to hide. We can bring our witnesses and justify the allegations by Mohd Anuar. Mohd Anuar’s allegations are baseless. it is unfair for my deceased client,” Gobind tells the coroner. Abd Razak says the result of the investigation by MACC is important to establish Teoh’s state of mind.
09:45am: Anuar testifies that Fizami Construction received 21 projects worth RM147,812, Haris Ent. received 14 projects worth RM88,275.30, MNKN Ent received six projects worth RM50,765 and MA Bina Melur received seven projects worth RM69, 010. He also tells the court that based on MACC investigation all the projects allegedly went to Teoh and Ean Yong for approval. Mohd Anuar tells the coroner’s court that based on MACC’s investigation, four companies were found to have given commissions to DAP and its Serdang Aman and Bandar Sungai Long branches. The four companies are WSK Services, Hong Chee Ent., Saharun Ent. and Sharideen Ent. The commissions given totalled RM25,546.56. Information was obtained from four documents printed from Teoh's laptop and his recorded statement with Selangor MACC officer Mohd Nadzri Ibrahim.
09:35am: Mohd Anuar takes the stand for the fourth time. He is now being questioned by lawyer representing MACC Datuk Abd Razak Musa.
09:30am: Coroner Azmil Muntapha Abas allows application made by lawyer Salim Bashir for his client, Selangor executive councillor Ean Yong Hian Wah to sit in the court so that Ean Yong can listen to the testimony of Selangor Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission officer Mohd Anuar Ismail.
