Police will be professional in their investigations into the sex video allegedly involving Anwar Ibrahim, says home minister.
KUALA LUMPUR: Home Minister Hishammuddin Hussein today pledged to make public the truth regarding the sex video scandal allegedly involving Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim.
“I’ve asked the investigating authorities to be transparent and follow procedures,” he said at the launch of a Safe Town Monitoring System by the local government and housing ministry.
Hishammuddin promised nothing but professionalism from the police and asked the public to be patient while investigations are going on and refrain from spreading rumours.
“All that matters is the truth, which can only be achieved through proper procedures. The truth will prevail but it will take time,” he said.
Hishammuddin lashed out at critics who accused the Barisan Nasional (BN) of being behind the sex tape, challenging them to provide proof of their allegations .
“We’ve been accused of conspiring. Now we’re accused of putting the clip of the tape on YouTube. We just haven’t been accused of performing in it! If people say we’re behind it, ask them to come up
with proof.”
He said that certain quarters would never agree with what the ruling coalition does, regardless of BN’s achievements.
“Even when the crime index is down, there is a perception that it’s a gimmick.”
Two weeks ago, a sex tape depicting a man allegedly that of Anwar having sex with a prostitute was released by Datuk T, later revealed as a trio of politicians.
The three – Shazryl Eskay Abdullah, ex-Malacca chief minister Rahim Tamby Chik and Perkasa treasurer Shuib Lazim – acknowleged they were behind the screening of the video.
The footage was shown to journalists and editors at Carcosa Seri Negara on March 21. The police began investigating the matter after Anwar lodged a police report the next day.
IGP: Trust us
Inspector-General of Police Ismail Omar meanwhile said arrests will be made when investigations are over.
“I will decide on the right time and who to arrest,” he said at the same function today.
He confirmed that the case was being investigated under Section 292 of the Penal Code, and possibly the Film Censorship Act.
Ismail also requested the public to trust the police to carry out the investigation in a comprehensive manner, and not ask them to “explain every step of the investigation”.
