The government backbencher noted that both Najib and Pakatan Harapan leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim have expressed support for the “live” broadcast, though for very different reasons.However, he said televising the court proceedings would not necessarily ensure fairness in the trial but the opposite as the judge could potentially be swayed by the views of “Najib’s trolls out there” or “anti-Najib trolls”.
“Either way, popcorn or not, the truth will be told,” added the PH lawmaker and lawyer who is also the DAP national legal bureau chairman. Karim listed six arguments for the “live” telecast of the trial, including public interest in the case, transparency, to avoid the dissemination of “fake news” by Najib “supporters and goons”, the smooth running of proceedings, and as a revenue source to be channelled to help the PH government pay off the country’s debts.
