00:00Do you think he's qualified to be a state witness? Because even Secretary Remolia and USECP have different views.
00:07For Secretary Remolia, he's not qualified to be a state witness, but for Undersecretary T, it seems he can.
00:15Well, my view on that, if he's going to be a state witness, what we want is for him to say information,
00:24or for him to say what he knows about Alice Goh and what Alice Goh is doing, especially Alice Goh's relationship with POGO.
00:36But I think it's going to be difficult because, first of all, Goh Huaping's lawyer, aka Alice Goh, and his lawyer are the same.
00:46So, my guess on that is that Goh Huaping is probably the one paying his lawyer.
00:50So, it's difficult for him to say information against Goh Huaping, but Goh Huaping is the one paying his lawyer because he's the only lawyer.
01:01Second, it's too early to say if he can be a state witness because he's not saying the complete details.
01:13Based on the documents, we can see that he's the center of the activities and the documents he's signing.
01:22So, just based on the documents alone, he has knowledge, but it's too early to say how deep his knowledge is.
