HKL doctor: We work without fear or favour - Can we see if you work without fear or favour? Only God knows

The sodomy trial resumes today with senior counsel Karpal Singh expected to grill Hospital Kuala Lumpur pathologist Dr Siew Sheue Feng about the medical pro-forma forms.

The pro-forma form is a standard sexual assault victim questionnaire and in this case it would be on the complainant, Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan, who is former political aide to Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim.

In the last court session, Siew provided a blank pro-forma form for the defence's reference.

Siew, had also pointedly refused to refer to the medical notes during the defence's cross-examination but he received a lot of flak after he was caught referring to it during the break.

As a result, Kuala Lumpur High Court judge justice Mohd Zabidin Mohd Diah has ordered it to be provided to the defence.

Solicitor-general II Mohd Yusof Zainal Abiden returns to court after having recovered from a leg fracture.

The trial has also attracted a Finish embassy representative among many other foreign observers.

LIVE REPORTS

8.29am: Sodomy complainant Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan's father Azlan Mohd Lazim is in court at the Jalan Duta Court Complex in Kuala Lumpur.

8.35am: There are not many people in court so far. It could be because the Royal Commission of Inquiry on Teoh Beng Hock is kicking off its hearings today also at the Jalan Duta Court Complex.

Journalists and the public are allowed to go into the courtroom. The public prosecuting team led by solicitor-general II Mohd Yusof Zainal Abiden enters the courtroom from a separate entrance.


8.36am: A representative from the Australian embassy arrives along with PKR MP Johari Abdul, who represents Sungai Petani, Kedah.

Also there are not many journalists, particularly from the Chinese press, as probably the attention is on the RCI.
