CJ says accused telling their side of story online won’t matter in court, evidence will talk

PUTRAJAYA, Jan 12 — A contempt proceeding can be initiated against those with court cases seen to be vilifying the judiciary, Chief Justice of Malaysia Tun Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat said but admitted it is usually initiated very sparingly.

She also insisted that any accused’s attempt to paint a picture of their cases in press conferences or online will not matter in their court hearings, since the judiciary will decide based on pieces of evidence that have been presented there.

“It depends on the extent of the statements that they make,” she told reporters when asked about out-of-court statements on judgments made by accused persons.
