ANWAR'S SODOMY TRIAL - SAIFUL START TO TESIFY


Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s accuser in his Sodomy II trial shocked the High Court today when he said the Opposition Leader had used profane language when asking to have sexual intercourse with him.

Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan, who took the stand at the High Court as the prosecution’s first witness, testified that when he first met Anwar at a condominium in Damansara Heights in 2008, the PKR de facto leader had asked him: “Can I **** you?”

He also told the court that he had refused to comply with Anwar’s request, but later went into the guest room where he then stripped and donned a towel before the Opposition Leader hugged him.

Saiful had earlier pointed to Anwar when asked by Deputy Public Prosecutor Datuk Mohd Yusof Zainal Abiden to identify the accused.

Anwar did not look at him.

The Opposition Leader, who smirked at many points during Saiful’s testimony, had earlier described the charge as “evil, frivolous lies by those in power” when the charge was read out to him.

Saiful, who appeared calm and composed, told the court that his job as Anwar’s personal assistant included helping the Opposition Leader to organise secret meetings with potential MPs who wanted to defect to Pakatan Rakyat (PR) parties.

He also testified that he took care of Anwar’s mobile phone and alerted his boss to important messages.
