00:0022 suspects have been charged under Section 130B Penal Code.
00:15This is with regard to the planned crime.
00:21There is only one charge against all 22 suspects.
00:26We don't know whether there will be another charges.
00:30This is the prerogative of the prosecution. We don't know.
00:34So if there is no other charges, that means only one charge under 130B of the Penal Code,
00:42then all the accused persons will be remanded in the prison pending trial.
00:50So the next date is on the 23rd of December.
00:58So under 130B of the Penal Code, this charge will be tried at the High Court level, not here.
01:08So this is a transit court for this particular charge.
01:12Then they are waiting for the DPP order for the charge to be transmitted to the High Court.
01:22So we will deal with it.
01:24We will appeal to the prosecution regarding this charge.
01:30We will also see if there are other charges against all the suspects.
01:40Also, when there is an accusation, the prosecution will deal with it.
01:46We will handle this case according to the law.
01:52So there will be a representation, there will be an appeal, there will be a challenge of the charge or charges.
02:02So we will see what will arise.
02:08Later we will handle it according to the law.
02:14Dato, just now the affidavit that you requested for a few of the suspects to sign, what was it about?
02:20The affidavit?
02:21Yes.
02:22Okay, there will be application to the High Court.
02:26Application where the case is suitable for SOSMA.
02:31There will be an application in challenging the charge.
02:37So that will come up later.
02:41It will be one stage and another.
02:46We will look at it one by one.
02:49We hope that there will only be one accusation.
02:52So if there is only one accusation, the accused will face this accusation and will be challenged in court.
03:02It depends on the prosecution.
03:05The proving now, the honours of proof lies on the prosecution.
03:10So the prosecution will fight all the charges.
03:16Let us deal in accordance to the law.
03:19Dato, just now there were four people that you asked to bail out.
03:22There were four during your assembly and so on.
03:25Yes, there were four deponents, witnesses or deponents.
03:29Deponents are those who signed the affidavit or the oath.
03:34Which will be used in any proceedings in the High Court.
03:38So we will have other proceedings other than this.
03:44Dato, does it mean the affidavit means to review the application of SOSMA for them?
03:51There will be several requests that will be made.
03:56We will be able to announce it after the filing.
04:00Because we will need further instructions from all the suspects.
04:05We will file it next week.
04:10Are there people who are not well?
04:11Yes, there are people who are not well.
04:13So we have got the cooperation of the police and the court has advised
04:21those who are not well to be brought for treatment.
04:26As you all know, they have been detained for a long time.
04:32They have been detained for a long time.
04:34Almost two months.
04:38Their condition, those who are old, those who are sick, those who have illness and so on.
04:45But we can't do more because the application of SOSMA,
04:50section 130, we, Penal Code Jenayah Terancang, will trigger the application of the SOSMA.
05:00So there are some detainees or some accused persons eligible to apply for bail.
05:11So we will deal with it.
05:13But not here, at the high court level.
05:16Dato, why the charges were read individually?
05:20Yes, all the charges were read individually.
05:25So it can't be read together.
05:32For now, the charges are for each individual.
05:35So it must be read for each accused person.
05:39The confession will not be taken because the case will be transmitted to the high court.
05:44Dato, from the 22 people, how many have problems with their health?
05:50I can say a few, the women.
05:53I think there are five or six women.
05:57Women who are old and have chronic diseases such as diabetes.
06:03Including Dato Chairman.
06:05Including Dato Nasiruddin.
06:07Dato, you mentioned earlier representation.
06:10Will you all be sending a representation?
06:13Yes, definitely.
06:15So that is up to the Attorney General Chambers to consider.
06:21There is no limit in sending representation.
06:25We can send a few times representation for them to consider.
06:31So the police investigate the matter.
06:33Whether there is a charge or no charge will be considered by the prosecution.
06:38And no harm for the defence to put in representation and appeal to them.
06:44That is their prerogative to consider.
06:47Dato, is it to reduce charges or drop all charges on all the accused?
06:53I can't say that because up to now there is only one charge.
06:58So we don't know whether there will be another charge.
07:01Because the police are investigating.
07:03If you recall what the Tan Sri IJP said,
07:08that they are investigating on 10 acts.
07:1310 acts.
07:15Scope of investigation.
07:17So today we have only one charge.
07:21We haven't been able to see if there is a charge under the Atib Som.
07:27We also haven't been able to see if there is a charge under the Acta Sexual Kanak-Kanak.
07:32Against these 22 suspects.
07:34We hope not.
07:36But if there is another charge, we will deal with it.
07:39That is the prerogative of the Attorney-General Chambers.
07:43That is their power.
07:45To accuse after considering.
07:48And we also can put up our appeal or representation for them to reconsider.
07:54So that is our responsibility.
07:57Whether there is a case or not, that is determined by the court.
08:02Let the court hear the matter.
08:05So if there is good evidence, then we deal with the evidence.
08:09If you remember what Tan Yusof Chin said,
08:12garbage in, garbage out.
08:15If the evidence is good, we will deal with it.
08:18If the evidence is not good, let the court deal.
08:21That is the power of the court.
08:23Just to verify, there will be a wrap for this charge?
08:26Definitely.
08:28When are you going to send it?
08:30Soon?
08:32I will say soon.
08:34Will you withdraw or reconsider?
08:37I will take my client's instruction for that.
