Abdul Gani dodges press on Anwar's appeal


Attorney-general Abdul Gani Patail today evaded reporters’ questions on whether his chambers will file a notice of appeal against Anwar Ibrahim's acquittal last Monday.

NONEThe AG instead preferred to discuss a fishing trip, the Chinese New Year holidays and the weekend rather than entertain media questions on Anwar.

"You know, this is the weekend and today is Saturday and with Chinese New Year approaching soon, I would like to go fishing," he said when mobbed by reporters as he was walking.

Anwar was acquitted of sodomy on Monday by the Kuala Lumpur High Court when presiding justice Mohamad Zabidin Mohd Diah ruled out the DNA evidence.

The prosecution led by outgoing solicitor-general II Mohd Yusof Zainal Abiden has recommended an appeal be made.

The team had submitted its recommendation on Wednesday to the Trial and Appeals division of the Attorney-General’s Chambers.

However, as at yesterday division head Kamaluddin Md Said said no decision has been made to file an appeal.

Complainant Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan and his father Azlan Md Lazim has urged the prosecution to file an appeal, citing their dignity.

The prosecution has 14 days to file an appeal from the date of verdict and because of the coming Chinese New Year holidays, the last day to file the application is on Jan 25.
