40 Reasons why the
Sodomy Charge against Anwar is too Ridiculous to Believe
By
Malaysian Spring
It seems a simple enough plan. Get a
willing pro-Umno young man. Stick him in Anwar’s office and let him get close
to Anwar. Then have him accuse Anwar of sodomy. The police, the judiciary and
the government machinery will do the rest. This will put Anwar out of the
political scene for good and he will never threaten Umno’s power again.
But something happened on the way to the
courthouse. The public is not buying this story. Too many holes have appeared
until the whole rickety structure of deceit has all but collapsed. No doubt
there are a few clueless souls in Umno trying to maintain this ridiculous
charade but they are flogging a dead horse. They only succeed in earning the
contempt of the people.
Saiful made many mistakes before and
after the alleged act by failing to conceal his movements and being an
incredibly lousy actor. Perhaps he
thought playing the victim isn’t important as the powerful players behind him
will take care of everything. But there’s a limit to how much idiocy the public
can take. A real victim of forced sodomy or male rape does not appear smiling
and waving to the press in public as if he’s damn proud of it.
It all looks like a hastily conceived,
bumbling, incompetent and ill-thought out plot. So here are 40 reasons why the
sodomy charge against Anwar is too ridiculous to believe.
The
Charge
1. The
charge of consensual sodomy is structurally flawed as it does not a tally with
Saiful’s public stance of forced sodomy for which he has already sworn on the
Koran.
2. The
government has absolutely no interest in prosecuting consenting gays so why the
sudden interest in prosecuting Anwar for alleged consensual sodomy? How about
all the gay activities going on under the nose of the authorities in the seedy
streets of KL? Nobody has been prosecuted for consensual sodomy since
independence except Anwar and his alleged partners in Sodomy I.
3. Why
isn’t Saiful prosecuted as a consensual partner? Shouldn’t he be at least
prosecuted for indecent behaviour against the order of nature for allegedly
bending over out of his own free will?
Saiful’s
behaviour
4. Claimed
to be have been sodomized a total of eight (8) times. Why did he tolerate it
for so long? To keep his RM1000 a month job? What can he possibly fear from an
opposition leader who holds no influence in government?
5. Despite
being a 24 year old big strapping youth, this lowlife claimed he was sodomized
against his will by a 62 year old man with bad back. How ridiculous can you
get?
6. Made
a police report 2 days after the alleged incident. Was he waiting to see if he
was pregnant?
7. Went
to work as usual next day and was seen walking straight.
8. Attended
a function at Anwar’s house in the evening with Anwar present and served coffee
to the guests. Would a rape victim do that?
9.
Sent a friendly quit
e-mail to Anwar that he was resigning because he was lazy and incompetent. No
mention that he couldn’t take the sodomy.
10. Show
no sign of being victimized and traumatized. Smile and wave to press after he
made his police report. Looks proud to be a victim of male rape.
11. Met
and photographed with senior officers in DPM dept a few months before the alleged
incident. Claimed to have gone there to apply scholarship but the DPM Dept is
the wrong place to go for scholarship. Why all the lies?
12. Met
Najib who was Deputy PM at his official residence 2 days before the alleged
incident. Najib at first denied the meeting, later claimed Saiful wanted a
scholarship? Is the Deputy PM so easy to access? Why would college dropout need
scholarship?
13. In
a final twist Najib said he advised Saiful who was traumatized to lodge a
police report. But this was before the alleged act!
14. Met
police office SAC Rodwan in Room 619 of Concorde Hotel Shah Alam 1 day before
the alleged incident. Were they discussing scholarship?
15. Saiful’s
god mother Mumtaz Jaafar is a close friend and ‘bag lady’ of Rosmah Mansor,
Najib’s wife. It is widely believed that the plot was hatched by Rosmah and
Najib.
16. Known
to be a rabidly pro-BN while in college.
17. Went
to Pusrawi hospital to get a medical examination and told the doctor that he
had been sodomized by a plastic object. The doctor said he looked and behaved
normally. Why didn’t he go straight to the police?
18. Went
to mosque to swear that Anwar sodomized him against his will during the
Permatang Pauh by-election so that BN can make political capital out of it.
19. Must
be the most publicity hungry rape victim in the world, male or female, bar
none!
Police &
prosecution
20. Why
are huge resources and manpower devoted to this case as if consensual sodomy is
the most heinous crime in the country, worse than the murder of a Mongolian
woman? How does an alleged consensual partner in sodomy suddenly become a
victim for whom the whole apparatus of government must be marshalled to seek
“justice?” Tie this with no. 2 and see if you can make any sense.
21. A
copy of the police report was given to Anwar only after he had been questioned
by police and after much pestering by his lawyers. Usually a suspect should be
given a copy of the police report before taking his cautioned statement to
prevent him unwittingly incriminating himself. Why was this procedure not
followed? Did the police upset the procedure to design the charge and fabricate
the police report to fit in with Anwar’s movements?
22. Why
was Anwar unnecessarily held overnight in jail cell when he could have been
released on the same day? The next morning he was asked a few perfuntionary
questions and released. But it was revealed that his jail cell was carefully
swept by forensic after his release. Were they looking for traces of his DNA?
23. Anwar
was asked to give a blood sample during the medical examination but he refused.
After that Umno leaders made public calls for him to give a sample. Why such a
tussle to get Anwar’s blood sample with no safeguards whatsoever? In view of
the fact that his blood sample had been planted on a mattress in sodomy I, why
should Anwar make it so easy for them?
24. After
Anwar refused to give his blood sample a new DNA Identification Bill was
proposed in which the police are allowed to forcibly take blood sample from any
suspect, custody of DNA samples will be managed by the police, the accuracy of
DNA evidence cannot be challenged and the judge must consider DNA evidence to
be conclusive. The Home Ministry wanted to rush this bill through parliament.
Do you smell a rat here? Thankfully this DNA Identification Bill has not been
passed into law yet after much opposition.
25. The
prosecution fought tooth and nail to transfer the case from the Sessions Court
to High Court without giving any creditable reason. If they have real evidence
they could have convicted Anwar in any court under any judge so why the lengthy
fight to transfer the case as if their whole case depends on who hears it?
26. The
prosecution also fought all the way to the Federal Court to deny giving Anwar
document necessary for his defence according to the Criminal Procedure Code,
not even most basic list of witnesses. Why such unbecoming and sordid loser
behaviour if they have a real case with real evidence?
27. In
any sexual offence where penetration is a crucial factor no prosecutor will
proceed without favourable medical evidence. In this case the prosecution
decided to proceed with unfavourable
medical evidence (see no.28 & 29). Were they depending on a compliant
judge? (see no. 25)
Medical
28. A
medical report by Dr. Mohamed Osman of Pusrawi Medical Centre, a Burmese
expatriate doctor with 30 years experience certified that Saiful rear orifice
had never been penetrated.
29. A
separate medical report by 3 specialists at Hospital KL also confirmed that
Saiful is an anal virgin.
30. The
prosecution claimed that they have DNA sample extracted from Saiful’s rectum
which incriminate Anwar but experts say that this environment is very hostile
to semen and prone to contamination. It is unlikely that any usable DNA can be
found after 2 days.
31. The
prosecution refused to give Anwar a DNA sample for independent verification so
any claim of positive identification is just the word of the government chemist
against his.
32. The
prosecution cannot prove that the DNA sample in question was actually extracted
from Saiful’s rectum although they claim it.
33. The
possibility exists that any DNA sample may have been spiked with Anwar’s DNA
collected covertly. (see no. 22 and 23)
Anwar’s Personal Life
34. Anwar
is 63 year old grandfather with 6 children and a loving wife. Would a
homosexual person father 6 children and have a close relationship with his
wife?
35. If
Anwar’s sexual inclination is true then where are the other partners? Why has
nobody come out of the woodwork to claim a relationship with him? Anwar’s
associates who were convicted of sodomy with him all repudiated their
confessions as extracted under torture the moment they were released.
36. Anwar
had just led the opposition to stunning gains at the March 2008 polls and was
plotting to take over the Federal government by engineering defections. Why
would Anwar risk everything for this college dropout? If indeed his lust is so
great, ther must be many others so where are the other partners?
Testimony during trial
37. Claimed
Anwar was his idol but his college mates say he hated Anwar’s guts.
38. Claimed
he was shocked and disgusted by Anwar’s indecent proposal by still took a
shower and prepared himself. So was it consensual or was it against his will as
he has sworn in a mosque?
39. The
prosecution produced a tube of KY jelly. Did Saiful come prepared with KY
jelly? If it belonged to Anwar wouldn’t it be taken back by Anwar?
40. Claimed
did not pass motion for 2 days in order to hold the vital evidence in his
rectum. How heroic. Wouldn’t it be easier to just go to the police immediately?
Didn’t he wash the KY jelly from his rear orifice?
More
is coming. We haven’t come to the cross-examination of Saiful yet!
