KUALA LUMPUR: A High Court judge has ruled that the prosecution must deliver a written statement of facts favourable to the defence of an accused person to ensure a fair trial.

Justice K Muniandy said the disclosure under Section 51A of the Criminal Procedure Code (CPC) prior to the commencement of a trial would place the accused and prosecution on equal footing.” https://www.freemalaysiatoday.com/category/nation/2025/02/11/prosecution-must-notify-accused-of-facts-in-his-favour-says-judge/#:~:text=The%20High%20Court,on%20equal%20footing.

A PSALM OF DAVID

The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
    He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
    he refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths
    for his name’s sake.
Even though I walk
    through the darkest valley,[a]
I will fear no evil,
    for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
    they comfort me.

You prepare a table before me
    in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
    my cup overflows.
Surely your goodness and love will follow me
    all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord
    forever.

Psalm 23
