Saiful a ‘passive homosexual,’ says Karpal

Karpal: I’m putting it to you that it is a logical conclusion, multiple DNA profiles in his anus makes him a passive homosexual.

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 22 — The lead defence counsel in Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s Sodomy II trial today suggested that multiple DNA profiles found in Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan’s anus made him a “passive homosexual.”

During the cross-examination of government scientist Dr Seah Lay Hong, the veteran lawyer asked whether the evidence of DNA profiles found in Saiful’s anus would lead to that conclusion.

“I’m putting it to you that it is a logical conclusion, multiple DNA profiles in his anus makes him a passive homosexual,” said Karpal.

Dr Seah, in turn said that she was not in the position to comment on the matter.

Karpal then asked Dr Seah to comment on the proforma report on Saiful, where it was stated that Saiful had complained of “attempted” sodomy.

“If it was attempted sodomy, how could DNA be found in Saiful’s anus?” asked Karpal.

This led lead prosecutor Datuk Mohd Yusof Zainal Abiden to object, saying that Dr Seah had nothing to do with the proforma report, and that therefore she need not answer.

In response, Karpal said that all he did was refer Dr Seah to a document (proforma report) which was already an exhibit.

Judge Datuk Mohd Zabidin Mohd Diah will be delivering a decision after a short recess on whether to allow Karpal to proceed with his question.
