KUALA LUMPUR, March 21 — Pakatan Rakyat (PR) leaders have denied that the man in a sex video that emerged today is Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
“This is a doctored video of Anwar,” said PKR communications director Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad.
A video recording showing a man who resembles a senior Malay opposition leader having sex with a woman believed to be a prostitute from China emerged today.
The 21-minute-long recording was shown to members of the media by a man who only identified himself as Datuk T.
Datuk T said that the February 21 video was from closed-circuit television camera recordings found in a hotel room in Kuala Lumpur.
“It is not Datuk Seri Anwar. This is another attempt by Barisan Nasional to give the public a perception of him as being an immoral person that is incapable of leading the nation,” PAS political bureau member Khalid Samad told The Malaysian Insider.
PKR vice-president Chua Tian Chang also claimed that Barisan Nasional (BN) has become desperate, “shifting from major issues such as elections and policies to personal attacks.”
During the screening this morning, Datuk T said he wanted the media to watch the footage showing the politician before sending the copy to him and his wife “to identify the person in the video” a week from now.
“We don’t want to involve the government in any of this. If he and his wife do not resign, then we will call for an independent panel of NGOs to conduct a forensic investigation into the video,” he said after the video was screened.
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.
The sex acts lasted 17 minutes before the man exited to the right, which seemed to be where the bathroom was.
The woman, after wiping herself with some tissue, then rummaged through the politician’s belongings, fishing out what Datuk T said was an Omega watch.
Datuk T said the person who found the video, only identified in a statement as “The Insider,” was instructed to head back to the hotel to look for the watch after the politician had left the hotel.
“Upon close inspection, I found four well-hidden CCTV cameras,” The Insider was quoted as saying in a statement which alleged that Anwar was the man in the video.
Datuk T also showed an Omega watch to reporters, claiming that it was the watch that had been reclaimed by his group of accomplices, who also did not identify themselves.
