KUALA LUMPUR, October 3 Datuk Seri Najib Razak's testimony is crucial to a Sodomy II trial, maestro counsel Karpal Singh argued today, saying it could strew light upon a disposition of Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim's prosecution in a days leading up to a purported incident.Karpal asserted which as a budding apportion had met Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan upon a night of July twenty-four dual days prior to a latter indicted Anwar of sodomising him Najib's comment of a assembly would "go a prolonged way" in aiding a court.
Anwar's lead counterclaim counsel pointed out which Najib's confirmation had settled which a PM had advised Saiful afterwards to board a police report, after a political help had purported upon July twenty-four which Anwar had sodomised him.
Karpal noted which Saiful had unsuccessful to mind Najib's advice, as well as instead went upon to theme himself to a "alleged sodomy upon him by Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, dual days later upon June 26, 2008."
"It is required to obtain evidence from a budding apportion with courtesy to SP1's (Saiful) state of mind, as well as either he was frightened, or either a budding apportion would have approaching SP1 to follow his advice," Karpal pronounced today.
"Surely, a single would follow a recommendation of a celebrity of no meant rank, namely a (then) deputy budding apportion whose recommendation was sought."
Najib as well as Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor's lawyers argued earlier currently a dual were not relevant witnesses to Anwar's ongoing! sodomy trial, as well as pronounced which a twin would not be able to suggest any element evidence to a court.
Datuk Hisyam Teh Poh Teik, a single of a lawyers representing Najib as well as Rosmah in their joint duplicate to equivocate testifying, pronounced which a opposition personality has unsuccessful to furnish explanation which a dual were relevant witnesses.
The counsel pronounced Anwar's duplicate to compel Najib as well as mother to testify was merely a "fishing expedition" to find information.
While Najib certified to assembly Saiful upon June 24, 2008, a PM's lawyers stressed which a assembly was not related to purported events upon June 26.
