She said the accused had the choice of giving a sworn or unsworn statement from the dock or remaining silent. Lawyer Syafie Naim from the National Legal Aid Foundation said his client would give a sworn statement from the dock and present a witness in his defence on June 16. Asran, a father of two, is accused of sexually assaulting a four-year-old girl in the care of his wife while the child's parents were outstation for work.
