00:00 The Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court has fixed a nine-day trial in the case of 38-year-old
00:07 Israeli Avitan Shalom, who's accused of trafficking six firearms and possessing 200 bullets.
00:15 Judge Noreena Zainal Abedin fixed September 30, October 1 till 3, and October 7 till 11
00:22 for trial when the case was brought for mention on Tuesday.
00:26 The case is also fixed for further mention on June 28.
00:30 Deputy Public Prosecutor Mohamed Mustafa P. Kunyalam told the court that the prosecution
00:36 would be calling 20 witnesses.
00:39 The prosecution also amended several details on the two charge sheets, from 158 to 200
00:47 bullets and the serial numbers of the firearms involving Glock and Stoger Kuga.
00:52 The amended charge sheets were then read out to Avitan, who pleaded not guilty.
00:58 Earlier, Avitan's lawyer Navinjit Singh told the judge that his client's name was
01:03 wrongly recorded on the charge sheet as Avitan Shalom.
01:08 He said the name that appears on the accused's French passport is Shalom Avitan and not Avitan
01:14 Shalom, adding that the latter could be someone else.
01:18 DPP Mohamed Mustafa said the prosecution had referred to the French passport and had
01:24 no intention to amend the name on the charge sheet at this juncture.
01:29 Navinjit said the defence stood by their contention on the naming convention, adding that it may
01:34 influence the court.
01:36 Judge Noreena said the court took note of the objection and asked parties to make submissions
01:41 on the issue later, during the trial.
