Yusoff’s suit against Anwar set for trial in January
He will testify on the first day of proceedings via Zoom.
Former research assistant Yusoff Rawther's civil suit against Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim is set to go to trial in January next year. Yusoff Rawther left Malaysia in June last year and currently resides in the UK. His lawyer, Rafique Rashid Ali, mentioned that High Court judge Raja Ahmad Mohzanuddin Shah Raja Mohzan would continue to preside over the trial via Zoom.
The trial dates are fixed for January 27-29 and March 1-5. Justice Raja Ahmad had also permitted media to cover the proceedings online. The trial will focus solely on the alleged assault incident at Anwar's residence on October 2, 2018, and will conclude by 3 pm on that date. Rafique assured that his client, who left Malaysia and is now in the UK, is willing to testify in the trial through Zoom. Counsel Christopher Leong is representing Anwar Ibrahim.
