Opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim has lost his final chance to get more key evidence such as CCTV footage and medical reports from the prosecution to prepare for his sodomy trial, which is to start next Tuesday.
Federal Court judge Abdull Hamid Embong, who led a three-member panel, dismissed Anwar's appeal and upheld of the Court of Appeal's decision.
The Federal Court panel had on Jan 20, heard submissions on the matter from senior counsel Karpal Singh and solicitor-general II Mohd Yusof Zainal Abiden.
