Anwar Ibrahim
ASP Fauziah Che Mat, a police audio-video analyst told the court earlier today that she had been tasked by DSP Jude Pereira on July 3, 2008 to identify two cars bearing the plate numbers WMK6 and WPK5925 via CCTV recordings obtained from the condominium.
CCTV recordings played today showed that an individual resembling Saiful arrived at the condominium at 2.47pm.
Saiful had, during the start of the trial, testified that he had driven to the condominium on that day using a car with the number plates WPK5925.
He was seen entering the lift and got off at the fifth floor. He later left the condominium at 4.35pm on the same day.
The individual resembling the complaint wore a long-sleeved shirt.
Another person resembling Anwar was seen entering the lift of the condominium at 12.12pm. CCTV footages caught him holding a black briefcase and white plastic bag. He was also seen putting on a grey suit in the lift and got out on the fifth floor.
At approximately 5.14pm, he was seen leaving the fifth floor with another male individual, a bald man. Both left the condominium at 5.30pm.
No one has however identified Anwar and Saiful as being the individuals in the CCTV footage today.
Besides the two cars- WMK6 and WPK5925 five other cars were also identified by Fauziah in court today, who said that Pereira had instructed her to do so.
She had also been instructed to identify images of 8-9 individuals who had gone up the fifth floor on the same day.
The trial will resume tomorrow morning with the cross-examination of another prosecution witness — Nor Aidora Saedon.
Saiful had complained that his ex-boss had sodomised him at a luxury condominium in upper-class Bukit Damansara here on June 26, 2008.
Saiful, now aged 25, has never named anyone else.
Anwar, the 63-year-old PKR de facto leader, is currently facing sodomy charges for the second time in his life.
He has denied the charge, describing it as “evil, frivolous lies by those in power” when the charge was read out to him.
He is charged under section 377B of the Penal Code and can be sentenced to a maximum of 20 years’ jail and whipping upon conviction. The trial is taking place 18 months after Anwar was charged in court in August 2008.
He was charged with sodomy and corruption in 1998 after he was sacked from the Cabinet and was later convicted and jailed for both offences.
He was freed in September 2004 and later resurrected his political career by winning back his Permatang Pauh parliamentary seat in a by-election in 2008, which had been held in the interim by his wife.
He led the opposition coalition, Pakatan Rakyat, to a historic sweep of five states and 82 parliamentary seats in Election 2008.
