Court dismisses evidence in Paul Yong rape appeal


IPOH: A letter that would supposedly exonerate former Tronoh assemblyman Paul Yong is hearsay evidence unless the author herself comes to court to give a statement, the High Court said.

Justice Abdul Wahab Mohamed said hearsay evidence did not meet the requirements outlined under Section 32(1) of the Evidence Act 1950 and therefore, rejected it.
