‘Datuk T’ says will not give video to Anwar

KUALA LUMPUR, March 22 — A man claiming to be the mysterious “Datuk T” behind the screening of a sex video allegedly featuring Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim emerged again today, and said he would not surrender his recording to the opposition leader, his wife or any authority.

Instead, he pledged to give a copy of the 21-minute long video and the Omega watch supposedly belonging to Anwar to an independent commission, which he urged all media and non-governmental organisations to jointly form to investigate the authenticity of the clip.

In an emailed press statement purportedly penned by him this evening, Datuk T explained that his change of heart was due to Anwar’s denial of his involvement in the video and his police report lodged today.

“Now that Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has lodged a police report denying that he is the man in a sex video screened to media personnel on Monday, I presume that he and his wife are not interested to receive a copy of the recording from me next Monday.

“Therefore I am calling on the media fraternity and NGOs to immediately form an independent public commission to investigate the authenticity of the tape,” he wrote.

The commission, he said, would also be allowed to engage foreign experts from any country to verify the recording.

“I will hand over the original recording to the public commission. I will also hand over the Omega watch that was found in the room where Anwar was caught on video with a foreign prostitute.

“The commission can send the watch to forensic experts to find if DNA found on the watch matched Anwar’s,” he said.

During yesterday’s screening to selected media personnel at a prominent hotel here, the unidentified man had promised to surrender a copy of the video to Anwar and his wife Datin Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail next Monday.

This, he had said, was to enable the duo to identify the man in the video and subsequently to announce their resignations.

Despite deciding not to surrender the video to Anwar and Wan Azizah, Datuk T pledged to stick to his promise that the recordings will be kept away from the hands of the authorities.

This, he predicted, was because any police involvement would likely invite further denial from Anwar.

“Datuk Seri Anwar would only divert attention, claiming that the police are in cohorts with the government if the outcome of the investigation did not favour him.

“I will hand it to the proposed public commission comprising the media and NGOs,” he insisted.

Datuk T had earlier placed calls at about 4.30 this evening to the mobile phones of several reporters from the mainstream media to inform them of his latest email statement.

According to one reporter, “Datuk T” had also sought help from the reporters to disseminate the emails to other journalists from the alternative media.

He had also requested that his mobile number remained a secret.

The identity of the caller could however not be verified, said the reporter.

Datuk T first emerged yesterday to reveal the video recording of a man resembling Anwar engaging in sex acts with a woman, believed to be a prostitute from China.

According to Datuk T, the video was taken on February 21 from closed-circuit television camera recordings found in a hotel room in Kuala Lumpur.

The black-and-white video was shown in several parts, beginning with the politician, a woman with East Asian features, and another unidentified man in a hotel room.

The second part, recorded from four slightly different angles, showed the man receiving oral sex from the woman and then having sexual intercourse with her in several positions.

Anwar, his wife and numerous other Pakatan Rakyat lawmakers have since denied the authenticity of the clip. The opposition leader also lodged a police report on the matter today.

Barisan Nasional leaders have also denied their involvement in the making of the clip. - Malaysian Insider
