Anwar's former aide Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan has claimed that it was in this condiminium that the opposition leader had allegedly sodomised him.
The visit will take place as soon as the prosecution team manages to secure the keys to the condominium from the owner who is believed to be in Perak today. Lawyers believe the visit can taka place tomorrow.
Earlier, Saiful was grilled by Anwar's counsel Karpal Singh on his family background.
He told the court that his parents separated when he was in Standard One. He was also quizzed on his sister, who had allegedly followed a man to Thailand to get married.
Karpal also requested the prosecution to furnish a copy of the witnesses' list, saying the defence could not contact the owner of the condominium.
“We need the prosecution's assistance. I am certain that he (the owner) will be called (to take the stand,” he said.
Solicitor-General II Mohd Yusof Zainal Abiden, who is leading the prosecution team, said he only found out the application for the witnesses' list today.
Meanwhile, Anwar told the court that the owner was scared.
In a related development, the High Court quashed Umno Youth chief Khairy Jamaluddin's application to set aside the judgment in default entered against him pertaining to a RM100 million defamation suit filed by Anwar.
Anwar, in his suit filed last year, had accused Khairy of uttering defamotary words with regards to his alleged sexual preferrence.
He claimed that the Umno Youth leader's statement gave the impression that Anwar was not a good Muslim and indulged in sexual deviancy.
