As expected, former Inspector-General of Police Musa Hassan has refused to be a defence witness for Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim, who is facing sodomy charges that he has accused Prime Minister Najib Razak and wife Rosmah Mansor of hatching to derail his political comeback.
Both Najib and Rosmah had pulled a similar feat last week when they complied with judge's request to turn up for the interview. However, the first couple made it clear right from the start that they did not wish to answer any questions or be interviewed at all. They also refused to take the witness stand despite having met the complainant just before he lodged the police report that led to the current trial.
Both PM and wife said they would only agree to testify if they were issued a court summon, and given the skewed judiciary system in Malaysia, few believe Anwar can succeed in getting a court to order them to appear.
