FULL REPORT KUALA LUMPUR: Independent Bayan Baru MP Zahrain Mohd Hashim today accused his former boss Anwar Ibrahim of trying to cover up the sex scandal involving Selangor executive councillor Elizabeth Wong.
He also told the Dewan Rakyat that Anwar was the one who instructed Kulim Bandar Baru MP Zulkifli Noordin to attack Wong in a bid to pressure the Bukit Lanjan assemblywoman to quit.
"He promised us a video of hers... even of her eating ice cream (performing oral sex) but until this day we have yet to see it," he said during the debate on the 10th Malaysia Plan.
Zulkifli was then an MP from PKR. He has since been sacked and sits in the House as an independent.
Zahrain said Zulkifli's sacking reflected what he described as Anwar's hypocrisy and excessive politicking within PKR.
"She (Wong) was retained as an exco but Zulkifli was instead criticised for attacking her and defending Islam," he added.
Wong had volunteered to resign but Selangor Menteri Besar Khalid Ibrahim decided to retain the first-term assemblywoman, saying the sex-video scandal was a personal matter.
Wee joins in
Backing Zahrain was Independent Wangsa Maju MP Wee Choo Keong who said that the alleged cover-up could be a sign that Anwar and PKR condoned such acts.
Both Wee and Zahrain quit PKR recently, citing loss of confidence in Anwar's leadership and the party.
Chaos erupted in the House when Yusmadi Yusof (PKR-Balik Pulau) rose to defend Anwar and demanded that Deputy Speaker Ronald Kiandee stop the two from making "malicious" allegations.
Kiandee, however, said that Wee and Zahrain had the right to demand an explanation from Anwar on his allegation that the reps who quit PKR had received RM2 million.
Zahrain had earlier said that Anwar had failed to back his allegation and had used the sex-scandal issue to retaliate against his accuser.
His speech, believed to contain more allegations against Anwar, was cut short following instructions by the deputy speaker.
