Anwar's former aide, Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan, has alleged that the 63-year-old Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) advisor and Member of Parliament for Permatang Pauh had come on to him at Unit 11-5-1 of the condominium block between 3.01pm and 4.30pm on June 26, 2008 when he had asked him for sex.
He is charged under Section 377B of the Penal Code and can be sentenced to amaximum of 20 years in jail and whipping upon conviction. The trial takes place18 months after Anwar was charged in court in August 2008.
Anwar's lead counsel Karpal Singh had yesterday asked for Mohd Saiful's testimony tobe heard in-camera when the latter, under the prosecution's examination-in-chief, was describing what happened in the condominium that day.
