The affirmation would not be admitted unless the plaintiffs procured the maker's attendance for cross-examination at a suitable venue in Malaysia or by video-link; the plaintiffs could not rely on s47 to avoid obligations under Order 38 Rule 2 where the affirmation was procured for the litigation and its credibility was contested; the court can direct attendance (including video-link) and exercise discretion to exclude hearsay if exclusion is not prejudicial to interests of justice.
