Anwar Will Be Arrested, Again?

What a news, just before I lay my head to bed…I received the below sms from Bob:

Polis telah menahan pembantu khas DSAI Saiful Bahari ptg ini dan memaksa beliau membuat pengakuan diliwat. Polis dijangka menahan DSAI hari ini. Sebarkan.

Called him and confirmed this came out from Nik Nazmi.

Malaysiakini reported about this about an hour ago.

Aide alleges sodomy: Report lodged
Jun 28, 08 11:03pm
A police report has been lodged against PKR

MCPX

de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim for allegedly sodomosing one of his aides - the second timeĀ  that such an accusation had been made in over 10 years.

pkr anwar ibrahim pc 080608 anwarThe report was lodged by the 23-year-old victim at the Jalan Travers police station at 6pm.

KL police chief DCP Muhammad Sabtu Osman has confirmed that the report had been made.

It is learnt that Anwar met with a number of party leaders at an emergency meeting late tonight.

At 11.15pm, PKR sent out an SMS message stating that the police had detained Anwar’s special aide Saiful Bahari this afternoon and forced him to lodge a police report about being sodomised by his boss.

It added that the police are expected to arrest Anwar soon.

Meanwhile, Anwar is expected to comment on this latest crisis at a pre-arranged press conference tomorrow.

The press conference is scheduled to be held after a meeting between Anwar and all PKR members of parliament and state assemblypersons.

Accused of sodomy in 1997

Anwar, a former deputy prime minister and finance minister of Malaysia, was sacked from the government in 1997 for allegedly being involved in sodomy and abuse of power.

In 1999, he was sentenced in a highly controversial trial to six years in prison for corruption, and in 2000, to another nine years for alleged homosexual acts.

However in 2004, the Federal Court - the country’s highest court - reversed the second conviction and he was released.

Anwar has always maintained that the charges were a government hatched political conspiracy against him, a move denied by the government.

In someone’s words, Saiful was beaten-the-shit-out-of-him to force the “confession”. Breathe in, breathe out, breathe in, breathe out. Must stay calm…darn, Reformasi 2? Does it mean that we are actually nearer to a second political tsunami that BN is taking such drastic actions? More drama coming…but for now, stay calm..calm, mesti bertenang.

How to stay calm? I am expecting to wake up to a wild wild Lord’s Day tomorrow. And gulp, I am scheduled to attend Kementerian Belia dan Sukan’s Pelancaran Hari Belia Pulau Pinang at 2pm.

Lord have mercy. Christ have mercy.

    *************************************
    ” To summarise our judgement , even though reading the appeal record we find evidence to confirm that the appelants were involved in homosexual activities and we are more inclined to believe that the alleged incident at Tivoli Villa did happen

    BUT, the Federal Court could only convict Anwar and Sukma if the prosecution had successfully proved beyond reasonable doubt the alleged offences stated in the charges based on admissible evidence and in accordance with established principles of law. ” - Hakim Datuk Abdul Hamid Mohamad dan Tengku Datuk Baharuddin Shah Tengku Mahmud

    anwar says THANK YOU to the judge.

    same old tactic. those who made confession about anwar wrong doings will be accused of making force confession without evidence. this is justice ala anwar.
