00:00Before watching the video, let me remind you that there is more content on the Hotline.
00:04After the Supreme Court approved the re-application of the judicial report of the former Prime Minister Najib for the restoration of the House of Representatives,
00:10on behalf of the Taiwanese government and six other defendants,
00:13the senior federal lawyer Sansu Pohassan confirmed yesterday
00:16that due to the case affecting sensitive topics,
00:18the Chief Prosecutor's Office planned to apply for a seal to the Supreme Court
00:22to prohibit anyone from discussing this case in public.
00:24However, Najib's lawyer, Sha Feiyi, believed that this case had already involved public interest
00:29and had already been widely discussed by the public,
00:31so they opposed the application of the seal.
00:33Another person who also opposed the seal was the Supreme Court Justice Bu'ai.
00:37In a letter of face-to-face, he said
00:39that the use of the seal to prohibit the people from discussing Najib's house arrest case
00:43would make people doubt that the government has hidden more secrets in the case,
00:47which may lead to various related negative speculations on the Internet,
00:50thereby affecting the credibility of the government.
00:53The Minister of Justice, Asalina, also said
00:56that the issue of Najib's house arrest case has already been discussed in public.
01:00In addition, when the Congress is held next month,
01:02this matter will definitely be brought up again in the meeting.
01:06Therefore, Asalina said that she personally
01:08believes that the Chief Prosecutor's Office should not apply for a seal to the Supreme Court.
01:15Regarding the Chief Prosecutor's Office's plan to apply for a seal to Najib's house arrest case,
01:20Asalina, Minister of Justice and Reform,
01:22told the media that Najib's house arrest case has already been discussed in public,
01:28so she personally believes that the seal should not be applied.
01:31However, she emphasized that the judiciary has the right to make decisions independently,
01:34and the Chief Prosecutor's Office may have its own considerations.
01:36I don't think so.
01:37There should be a get order because number one, it's already a public domain.
01:40And number two is that parliament is going to sit in the next month,
01:44so all this may be raised again.
01:47But I think, to be fair, maybe the AGC have their legal reasons,
01:52and they're going to submit to court, and let the court make a decision.
01:55We have to respect the court.
01:56On the other hand, Asalina said at the event that
01:59the five countries lack a special political cash law,
02:01resulting in obvious loopholes in the system.
02:04Therefore, she believes that the five countries must develop a comprehensive political cash law
02:07to deal with the risk of corruption and improve transparency.
02:10In Malaysia, the absence of a specific legislation
02:13governing political financing leaves a significant gap
02:17that heightens the risk of corruption.
02:20The Election Offences Act 1954,
02:22which limits campaign expenditure and mandates reporting of election spending,
02:28applies only to candidates and not to political parties,
02:32which are also not required to disclose their funding sources.
02:36Asalina emphasized that now is the best time for the five countries
02:38to develop a comprehensive political cash law.
02:41Because it not only solves the relevant problems,
02:43but also is in line with the reform of the Changming Law and system.
