Najib's lawyer Harvinderjit Singh today started cross-examinations of Muhamad Akmaluddin who has been with CCM since 2007.
Would it be incorrect to enclose "Havinderjit Singh" with commas?
Thanks.
If that section is not vital/important to the sentence, then put commas around his name.

Thanks, PUNKEY, please elaborate on your reply.
No commas around a name or title indicates that it is central to the meaning of the sentence.
My friend Jane is a better cook than me.
Commas around a name or title that is NOT central to the meaning of a sentence, the sentence will still make sense in context.
My friend, Jane, is a better cook than me.

Is there a difference in meaning between the sentences in boldface?
Could someone please reply to the above post. Thanks.
@tanguatlay,
There is no difference. Both sentences indicate that Jane is a better cook.
