On the judicial record
A High Court judge whose reported corpus is concentrated in serious criminal trials and appeals — narcotics, customs and kidnapping — decided on a maximum evaluation of the evidence.
Justice Mohamad Abazafree bin Mohd Abbas sits in the High Court (Mahkamah Tinggi), and the reported decisions in this corpus are strongly criminal, with serious trials and appeals from the subordinate courts, many written in Bahasa Malaysia. Narcotics work dominates. Full trials — bicara penuh (full trials) — under seksyen 39B(1)(a) Akta Dadah Berbahaya 1952 (section 39B(1)(a) of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952) require the court to decide whether the prosecution has proved a kes prima facie melampaui keraguan yang munasabah (a prima facie case, on a maximum evaluation of the evidence), and whether possession and knowledge of the drugs are established, with several trials ending in the accused being dilepas dan dibebaskan (discharged and acquitted) where the evidence fell short.
Criminal appeals from the Sessions Court recur, including appeals against conviction on drug-possession charges under sections 12(2) and 39A of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952 read with section 34 of the Penal Code, and appeals concerning customs offences under section 137(1)(b) of the Customs Act 1967, examining whether there was non-compliance with section 261 of the Criminal Procedure Code.
The corpus also engages grave non-drug crime, including a full trial for kidnapping under section 3(1) of the Kidnapping Act 1961 read with section 34 of the Penal Code, and abetment under section 109. On the civil side, a bankruptcy appeal examines whether a bankruptcy notice and creditor's petition should be set aside for want of full liability or non-compliance with the prescribed format, and a defamation action turns on whether impugned statements were defamatory and whether the defences of justification and fair comment applied. Across the drug trials the court also attends closely to the integrity of the exhibit chain and to whether the observation and arrest evidence connects a particular accused to the recovered drugs. The corpus reflects a High Court judge whose reported work is concentrated in serious criminal trials and appeals, decided on a careful, maximum evaluation of the evidence and on whether the prosecution has proved possession and knowledge against each accused beyond a reasonable doubt.
