    There was reasonable independent evidence, drawn from the witness statement read as a whole and corroborating external material (including letters and other circumstantial material), that Fu Chai participated in the alleged conspiracy with the accused and the witness; therefore the impugned passage is admissible as an act/declaration in furtherance of the conspiracy (with the qualification that the ruling may be revisited if the anticipated evidence does not materialize or collapses).
