Muhammad Shafee Abdullah says he, as Najib Razak's lawyer, must be allowed to inspect all statements to prepare his client's proposed defence.

PUTRAJAYA: Najib Razak’s SRC International trial could conclude sooner if the prosecution can deliver witness statements and documents to the defence, his lead counsel Muhammad Shafee Abdullah says.

Kasitah, who was also represented by Shafee, was acquitted by the High Court in 2009 of corrupt practices and cheating in 1996. “It would be regarded as an afterthought if the accused started his defence after he is called to answer the charges,” he told the seven-member bench chaired by Chief Justice Richard Malanjum.

Co-counsel Harvinderjit Singh said the prosecution’s fear of witness tampering did not arise as Malaysia has the Witness Protection Act and Whistleblowers Act.
