“We do not know if he really understood the charges and the consequences of pleading guilty,” Alim told reporters. He said the prosecution should have told the court of the mental conditions of the accused at the material time. “Occasionally, he would get very irritated and angry and would curse and swear at people passing his house in Bau,” Alim said.“In Bidayuh language, he is considered as ‘bako’, but is yet to be called mad. He is just mentally unstable,” he said.
One of the lawyers, Desmond Kho, when contacted, said the application will be heard on March 13 at the High Court here.
