Will CHC's latest tactic work to save Kong Hee?

An honorable member of the Coffee Shop Has Just Posted the Following:

The lawyer of the founder of City Harvest Church sought to show today (Sept 10) that Kong Hee had nothing to do with the numerous transactions involving glassware firm Firna ... Today, Kong Hee’s lawyer Edwin Tong posed a series of questions to Mr Hanafi, asking if Kong had anything to do with what should be done with the proceeds of the Firna bond. He also asked Mr Hanafi if Kong had anything to do with the convertibility of Firna bonds into shares and if the founder decided on the various draw down details. Mr Hanafi said Kong was not involved in these matters.

I could be wrong of course, but this latest development looks like a first step by Kong Hee's lawyer Edwin Tong to move towards some kind of compromise position. Previously, they had been steadfastly refusing to admit any wrongdoing - I wonder what has prompted this latest move by Tong to take this position? Is there perhaps a sudden realization on the part of someone in the CHC camp that they are not going to get away with this after all despite protesting their innocence all the way? Did someone (possibly Kong Hee himself) get cold feet about trying to go down in a blaze of glory, yelling, "NOT GUILTY!" all the way down to his prison cell?
