PRESS RELEASE
Today the Inspector General of Police Tan Sri Ismail Omar rushed to make a statement that the ‘ Datuk T ‘ sex video is allegedly authentic. This announcement in no way proves that Opposition leader Dato Seri Anwar Ibrahim is the person appearing in the sex video. From the very first instance, Dato Seri Anwar Ibrahim has stated categorically and unambiguously that he is not the person in the sex video. The issue of the authenticity of the video is a red herring,and a politically motivated attempt at confusing the issue so as to smear and tarnish Dato Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s reputation.
What is of real public concern is why the police and A-G’s Chambers have yet to institute criminal proceedings against the three persons who have publicly confessed to being guilty of possessing and publicly exhibiting the obscene video which are offences under s.292 Penal Code and s.5 Film Censorship Act 2002. Why the special treatment meted out to these particular offenders? Unusually, the IGP made his announcement on the aspect of the authenticity of the video despite admitting also that the probe on the sex video is not yet complete. We call upon the IGP not to dance to the tune of the BN and to carry out police investigations fairly, impartially and professionally. We call upon the IGP and AG to stop the delaying tactics and to take action against the real criminals in the sex video fiasco immediately.
