One needs only to watch the full COP video to appreciate how Edwin Tong strained and failed to put words into Pritam’s mouth, and how ST has completely failed to report the evidence that Pritam gave during the COP.
One will also see how consistent Pritam’s evidence was even though Edwin Tong tried different tricks repeatedly to misrepresent what Pritam said by selectively quoting his words, and contorting his testimony. Pritam had to repeatedly remind Edwin Tong about what he actually said and that it was on the record.
Edwin Tong’s frustrations at his own failed attempts began to show very early in the video when he failed to corner Pritam. He had concocted a story and he tried to lead Pritam into that narrative step by step but Pritam foiled his attempt at every juncture. When Pritam asked Edwin Tong to check the evidence on record (the proceedings were transcribed on the fly), it was quite funny because when Edwin Tong read out Pritam’s testimony, one can see the dazed look on Edwin Tong’s face as he read to himself Pritam’s words which clearly contradicted the words he tried to put into Pritam’s mouth. Edwin Tong also got so lost with his own concocted fairytale that he started to fumble over the dates: 8 Oct when it should be 8 Aug; 3 Aug mixed up with 3 Oct. He was getting really hot under the collar while Pritam was steadfast in his answers.
