CHAIRPERSON
Before we start, I would like to make a few remarks.  We have been given a copy of a statement. Apparently for the purposes of ensuring that it is delivered directly to Mr Dullah Omar, the Minister of Justice.  I would like to explain that we have no direct contact with the Minister and no method of ensuring direct delivery to him, and I would suggest that those people who wish to make contact with him, do so through the Department of Justice itself.  I hope they understand what I'm saying in this regard and we shall however endeavour to bring it to the attention of interested parties.
