Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim scored a significant morale boosting victory today when the High Court said that the prosecution must ensure the attendance of its witnesses who are to be interviewed by the defence team.
Justice Mohamad Zabidin Mohd Diah said since the witnesses are offered by the prosecution (after Anwar was ordered to make his defence on the Sodomy II charge), as such, it is their responsibility to ensure they attend the interview session.
"However, it depends on the witnesses if they want to say anything in the interview. Hence, I am allowing both the defence applications," Justice Zabidin said.
Solicitor-general II Mohd Yusof Zainal Abiden had earlier submitted in court that Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak, his wife, Rosmah Mansor, and former inspector-general of police Musa Hassan and former Malacca police chief Mohd Rodwan Mohd Yusof would only come forward if they were subpoenaed.
With today's ruling it is compulsory for the prosecution to ensure that the witnesses are brought to court to be interviewed by the defence team. All this must be done before next Monday.
