: The High Court here today allowed the prosecution’s application to have 11 of its 37 witnesses in the trial of former Malaysian External Intelligence Organisation director-general Datuk Hasanah Abdul Hamid to testify in camera.
He said the decision was also made after taking into consideration the affidavit affirmed by the Director General of the Research Division of the Prime Minister’s Department. “Also, the credibility of the Research Department of the Prime Minister’s Department will be severely effected and its covert functions will be very much clipped and crippled.
“In doing so, I do not find that the respondent would be prejudice in any manner in effectively advancing her defence...It is still open to the respondent, during the cross-examination, to put her defence across to the prospective 11 witnesses,” he added.
