Top politician caught in sex video
Published Mar 21 2011
Video footages showing a man, resembling a top opposition leader having sex with a woman, said to be a foreign prostitute, have emerged.
The black and white 30-minute video clip, which showed the supposedly high profile Member of Parliament engaged in various compromising positions, is set to rock the Malaysian political scene.
The video recorded on Feb 21 was found in a hotel room in Kuala Lumpur. The video was obviously recorded with high-quality equipment as the images were very clear and sharp.
The face of the top politician could be clearly identified in the video. From her features, the woman appeared to be East Asian.
Senior members of the media, were taken in batches to a room in the luxurious Carcosa Seri Negara individually to view the footages by a group of unknown people led by a man who only wanted to be identified as Datuk T.
Before the screening, the journalists were told to surrender their wallets, mobile phones, cameras, notebooks, pens and also made to wear robes over their clothes before they were allowed into the room.
Datuk T said the politician and his wife must step down from politics within a week if they do not want to see the video being distributed to the public.
He said the video showed that the politician was not the pious person with high moral value and integrity as portrayed by him and was not fit to be a leader.
Datuk T who claimed to be "an insider", claimed that he was asked by the politician to search for his missing Omega watch in the room, where the sex act had taken place.
He said he had searched for the watch but could not find it on the table.
"I looked for it behind the dresser. I was shocked to find many strands of wires behind. Upon close inspection, I found four well-hidden CCTV cameras."
"I tried to open the two dresser drawers and found that one was locked. I prised open the locked drawer and found an active CCTC recorder."
"I disconnected the wiring and took the recorder out of the hotel," Datuk T said, adding that no one had the recording except him.
Journalists who saw the video confirmed that the person in it looks like the top opposition politician.
Part of the video showed the man receiving oral sex from the woman before having sex with her in a variety of positions.
The video also showed the man going to the bathroom and the woman wiping her self with tissue paper and later going through the man's belongings. It showed that she took the watch.
Datuk T showed journalists the watch which he claimed was retrieved by his group, whose members he refused to identify.
Meanwhile, with text messages and emails about the video spreading like wildfire, Pakatan Rakyat (PR) leaders denied that the man in a sex video that emerged today is Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
"This is a doctored video of Anwar," Malaysian Insider quoted PKR communications director Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad.
"It is not Datuk Seri Anwar. This is another attempt by Barisan Nasional to give the public a perception of him as being an immoral person that is incapable of leading the nation," PAS political bureau member Khalid Samad said.
"PKR vice-president Chua Tian Chang also claimed that Barisan Nasional (BN) has become desperate, "shifting from major issues such as elections and policies to personal attacks."
