Kuala Lumpur War Crimes Tribunal
Judge Abdul Kadir Sulaiman: No, no, what I mean is you have already tendered the whole book. This except is already inside here, you just want to pay particular attention … If you mark also it will be inside here. The most we can do is if we have them marked, 7a & 7b.

Mr. Jason Kay Kit Leon: May I have them marked? 10
Judge Abdul Kadir Sulaiman: Very well. Carry on, please. Mr. Jason Kay Kit Leon: I also apply to the court to note on record that our earlier submission, the submission that there was no case to answer, for this stage of the proceedings. As amicus curiae appointed by the Tribunal to assist this Tribunal I am but a friend of the court. Only a friend. Strictly speaking I am not a party, I do not represent the accused. I am here to humbly, if I may be so presumptuous as you use the word, educate the court on points of law that are in doubt, to gather or organize information, or raise awareness about some aspects of the case that the court might otherwise miss. An amicus curiae must not be a party to the case nor an attorney in the case but must have some knowledge or perspective that makes his views valuable to the court. And I’ve tried to be a friend to this Tribunal. I’ve tried to speak the truth gently and politely even though it may have hurt.
