The prosecution's contention that there is a possibility for jailed ex-deputy premier Anwar Ibrahim to commit an offence if he is freed on bail is 'unfair and scandalous', lawyer Karpal Singh told the Court of Appeal today.

He said the contention was a bare statement and urged the court to expunge it as there is no evidence to show that Anwar may fall foul of the law if bail is granted.

"This argument is scandalous and ought to be expunged. No evidence had been placed (by the prosecution) to show the applicant would embark on a spree of commission of offence if bail is given. They are being unfair to the applicant," said Karpal.
