00:00Zain Mikwan and Ismah Nira have been charged under Section 31-1A Acta Kanak-Kanak 2001,

00:21where the gist of the charge is the neglect of physical injury to Zain Ryan.

00:28The two of them did not plead guilty.

00:31The court has agreed to grant bail for the two accused,

00:37RM10,000 per person,

00:40or for each of the Malaysian citizens,

00:45as well as a number of conditions proposed by the defendants.

00:51We have also requested a gag order,

00:55or in Malay, a gag order,

00:58a gag order issued by the court

01:01so that there are no comments,

01:05no postings or statements

01:10made by the outside community

01:12regarding this case that could be subjudicial,

01:15that could interfere with the course of the hearing.

01:19And the court,

01:22after hearing our testimony and the testimony of the defendants,

01:26has agreed to issue a gag order,

01:30but to the parties involved in this hearing,

01:34namely us, the family,

01:37and the defendants.

01:41However, what we are certain of is that

01:44if there is anything subjudicial,

01:46this issue could be brought to the centre.

01:52What about the grandparents?

01:55The latest update that I have received from the PDRM,

02:00they are still at the IPDPJ for an explanation,

02:04and they are expected to be brought to the PJ court

02:08in the afternoon,

02:09around 3 or 4pm,

02:11before the court closes,

02:12for them to be released on police bail.

02:15Not at the IPDPJ, but here.

02:17I would like to add something.

02:20It needs to be made clear that

02:22the indictment that has been made today

02:26is in violation of the statute of limitations.

02:30Therefore, it is clear that

02:32Section 302 is not to be brought to the court today.

02:38Why did you change the statute of limitations?

02:41This is possible based on the evidence that we have

02:44received from the witnesses.

02:47The prosecution has decided to only accuse them

02:51under Section 311A.

02:54What do you mean by that?

02:57With regard to the details of the case,

03:01we do not have a document

03:05on the basis of the prosecution's accusation

03:08against the two families.

03:10However, today, they have only read the indictment

03:14and it is clear that after reading the indictment,

03:17they did not commit any wrongdoing.

03:19On the next day,

03:21we will get a document

03:24on the basis of why the prosecution

03:27made an accusation against the two families.

03:29Will the two families pay the bail today?

03:33Will they pay the bail of RM10,000 today?

03:36Today, they are in the process of paying the bail.

03:40The two families are in the process of paying the bail.

03:44God willing, if everything goes well,

03:48they will be released today.

03:50How are the two families?

03:53Thank God, they are happy

03:56and satisfied with the investigation

03:58carried out by the prosecution

04:00and the PDRM.

04:02As many people want,

04:05I believe they also want

04:07justice for Azir Ryan.

04:09Sir, you mentioned earlier that

04:12there is a lot of depression in the country.

04:16How do you treat it?

04:19I believe this depression has happened before.

04:22That is, after, of course,

04:24any family,

04:26when a loved one is lost,

04:27of course, will experience depression.

04:29And I also believe that from the beginning of the case,

04:32they are getting treatment.

04:34They are getting treatment, especially from their parents.

04:37And they also have an autistic child.

04:41Another autistic child, Matim.

04:43So, yes, they are getting treatment.

04:47What kind of treatment? Psychological?

04:49Psychological.

04:50Sir, I would like to clarify again.

04:52Is it with today's order,

04:54the two families will be released from 302

04:56or when the time comes,

04:59the prosecution can review the investigation

05:02and maybe 302 can be prosecuted.

05:05Okay.

05:06As an addition to Mr. Mahmud's explanation earlier,

05:09the investigation paper was initially opened

05:11under Section 302.

05:13The investigation is under Section 302,

05:15the Penal Code.

05:16Okay.

05:17Today, the two of them have finished the hearing

05:20and have been accused of being under Section 31,

05:22Section 1A, child tax.

05:24However, the investigation against Section 302

05:28will not stop.

05:30The PDRM will continue the investigation

05:32to find out who the real perpetrator is.

05:35This is the hope of the family,

05:37the hope of the community.

05:39This is what we want to know.

05:40Section 302 is still going on

05:42and until we find out who the perpetrator is,

05:45it will not stop.

05:47And the question earlier,

05:48whether the two of them can be accused,

05:51we will not know.

05:53It depends on the further investigation.

05:55Okay.

05:58Thank you.
