01:56 Good morning, my friends.
01:58 We just heard the decision of His Lordship, Justice Jamil.
02:02 A decision that is most fair and just.
02:04 Fair and just because charges preferred against Tan Sri
02:09 were bad in law, seriously defective,
02:12 must not see the light of day.
02:14 It was an abusive process with the greatest respect
02:17 to the prosecution.
02:18 It was our argument that the charges do not disclose
02:21 any offense known to law.
02:23 And this argument was agreed by His Lordship.
02:26 His Lordship appreciated the arguments
02:28 canvassed by us.
02:29 We raised two grounds, important grounds, in our submission
02:33 to say why these charges are bad in law.
02:36 One, it's very clear from the reading of the act
02:40 itself that Basatu cannot be classified as an associate
02:44 under the law.
02:46 With the greatest respect to the prosecution, again,
02:48 this is a case in which they misread and misapplied the law.
02:52 And in the process, irreparable harm has been done to Tan Sri.
02:57 Number two, it's also our argument before His Lordship
03:00 that the charges do not disclose particulars
03:03 that are necessary for the defense team
03:05 to proceed with an effective defense.
03:08 Again, His Lordship agreed with us.
03:10 His Lordship was appreciative of the arguments
03:13 and the authorities given to us by His Lordship.
03:16 So in essence, we are grateful.
03:19 We thank God, alhamdulillah again,
03:21 for a very fair and just decision.
03:23 Thank you so much.
03:24 - Let me say a few words.
03:25 - Yes.
03:27 - Dr. Kumar Indran.
03:29 - In the first place, Tan Sri's acquittal
03:32 reinforces the presumption of innocence from the beginning.
03:36 You must understand, if the prosecution had applied the law,
03:40 considered the law,
03:41 he should not have been charged in the first place.
03:43 I don't know what is the agenda they had
03:45 when they first charged him.
03:47 Thank you very much.
03:48 - Referendum!
03:53 Referendum!
03:55 Referendum!
03:57 Referendum!
03:59 Referendum!
04:01 Referendum!
04:02 Referendum!
04:04 Referendum!
04:06 Referendum!
04:08 Referendum!
04:10 - Takbir!
04:11 - Allah!
04:12 - Takbir!
04:13 - Allah!
04:14 - Takbir!
04:15 - Allah!
04:16 - As a result of the collapse of these four main charges,
04:19 we are confident that the other three under charges
04:21 will not stand.
04:22 - Hold four.
04:23 - Hold four, all right?
04:25 In the next few days, the legal team will meet and discuss
04:28 what are the steps to be taken
04:29 as far as the three other charges are concerned.
04:32 - But the three Amna charges are still pending.
04:34 - Still pending.
04:35 But the main point is that the main predicate charges
04:39 have fallen this morning.
04:40 - Cannot stand without a predicate of charges.
04:42 - Right.
04:43 Right?
04:45 And I take this opportunity to thank my legal team.
04:48 It's an incredible team.
04:49 We work side by side, day and night.
04:51 - I have to say that.
04:53 I'm very happy.
04:54 Deryshab, Tukul Redan, and the rest, Amir,
04:57 and of course, Rosli, and the whole team.
04:59 - The whole team.
05:00 - Have done very well from the beginning.
05:03 - From the beginning, they have given a very accurate
05:06 and effective explanation from the legal point of view.
05:11 So, I'm okay with that.
05:13 The judge, Arif, found our argument strong.
05:18 There is a strong basis.
05:20 So, the charges that have been mentioned earlier
05:23 have been decided to be brought against me.
05:26 So, thank you.
05:28 This is a trial using the court process.
05:31 Of course, there are certain parties that are responsible.
05:35 This usually doesn't happen.
05:37 In other cases in court, I was informed that
05:41 this is the first precedent.
05:42 That's why the judge disagreed
05:44 and rejected what was mentioned earlier.
05:46 Thank you to all our team and my family, my wife,
05:50 who gave me the courage.
05:51 And after this, we will continue to fight.
05:54 From the National Coalition
05:56 that advocates justice against...
06:01 - Corruption.
06:03 - That's why this will give me, especially,
06:06 and other people, a higher spirit to continue to fight
06:09 against cruelty, against the use of force,
06:13 corruption, and so on.
06:15 That is something that is clearly seen and done
06:19 by the government today
06:21 with the case that has been mentioned earlier.
06:22 Thank you.
06:23 - Takbir! - Huzoor!
06:24 - Takbir! - Huzoor!
06:25 - Takbir! - Huzoor!
06:26 - Takbir! - Huzoor!
06:27 - Thank you.
06:29 - Thank you.
06:30 - Thank you.
