The mystery of the missing initial report

In 2008, the police raided my house to look for the PUSRAWI medical report, which Malaysia Today published and which debunks Saiful Bukhari Azlan’s allegation that Anwar Ibrahim sodomised him. I was also brought in for interrogation with regards to that report. Two years on and that medical report is now said to be missing and the Prosecution declares it is not aware of such a report. Well, maybe we can republish it for the sake of the Prosecution.

Opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim has charged that the prosecution into his sodomy case had lied over the existence of an initial preliminary report after the three doctors had examined Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan.

Solicitor-general II Mohd Yusof Zainal Abiden had admitted in court he did not know of the initial report.

However, the testimony of Dr Mohd Razali Ibrahim today showed there is an initial report, which was made before the July 13 full report which was tendered as evidence.

“This showed the prosecution had lied and supports our arguments that it should have been supplied to us before the trial. We do not want to hold up the trial but it seems they (the prosecution) are,” he said. — Malaysiakini

***********************************

The cross-examination of Hospital Kuala Lumpur’s Dr Mohd Razali Ibrahim resumes again today after the defence failed to obtain the original clinical notes, but was given the July 10, 2008, medical report instead.

Top lawyer Karpal Singh may continue the defence’s effort to access the clinical notes by getting Dr Razali to refer to it when answering questions during his cross-examination after making several unsuccessful attempts yesterday.

Karpal can only access the information contained in the notes if one of the prosecution witnesses refers to it, following High Court judge Mohamad Zabidin Mohd Diah’s ruling yesterday denying the defence’s application for the documents.

The notes contain details of the three-hour examination performed by Dr Razali and the other two doctors – clinical pathologist Dr Siew Sheue Feng and specialist surgeon Dr Khairul Nizam Hassan. — Malaysiakini
