The High Court in Johor Bahru, Malaysia, released 47-year-old Orang Asli citizen Jambi Anak Chang Taa Nam after nine years of detention. Jambi had been charged under Section 302 with murder (intentional killing) and remained at the trial stage throughout the proceedings. The prolongation of the legal process, following the lawyer's intervention, led to the charge being amended to Section 304(a), 'culpable homicide not amounting to murder' (non-intentional culpable homicide). Lawyer Kamal Hisham Jaafar took on the case pro bono, built a defence against the prosecution, demonstrating the weakness of the case, which ultimately resulted in Jambi's release.
