Anwar Ibrahim's defence goes into the second day today with the expected testimony from Pusrawi hospital doctor Dr Mohamed Osman Abdul Hamid and two foreign experts.

The two Australian experts - forensic pathologist Dr David Wells and DNA specialist Dr Brian McDonald - have been with Anwar's defence team since they heard testimony from the police, Hospital Kuala Lumpur doctors and chemists.

It would be interesting to see whether the prosecution will apply to cross-examine Anwar, who had yesterday given an unsworn statement from the dock to the surprise of many.

Solicitor-general II Mohd Yusof Zainal Abiden had told the court that he “would love to cross-examine Anwar”. This was despite that testimony or statement from the dock by an accused in principle cannot be cross-examined.

"I will have to study past case laws as I would love to cross examine Anwar, whose defence was merely a political statement," said Yusof.

Anwar, in denying that he had sex with his former aide Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan, had detailed how it was a conspiracy hatched by then Deputy Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak just before he was about to return to active politics by contesting the Permatang Pauh parliamentary seat.

Anwar has also pointed out that despite such evidence going against the prosecution, the court had ordered him to enter his defence.
