Wan Azizah: Man in video is not Anwar
By FLORENCE A. SAMY
KUALA LUMPUR: PKR president Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail has insisted that the man in the sex video is not her husband Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
Speaking at a press conference at her home in Segambut Dalam, she said she had watched the short video clip posted on Youtube on Monday with her family.
“It is not him. It is clear that the body and physique of the actor' in the video is extremely different from that of Anwar.
“This is strengthened by the fact that for over a year now he has been accompanied by his children whenever he exercises and undergoes physiotherapy as part of the recuperative measures for his injured spine,” she told a packed press conference.
At the press conference, Dr Wan Azizah, her daughter Nurul Izzah and DAP national chairman Karpal Singh also condemned the lack of action against the Datuk T trio and called for them to be arrested immediately.
Later during a launch of a safe city monitoring system here, Home Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein said the identity of the culprit who leaked out the sex video on YouTube was not known.
Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Ismail Omar who was at the same event denied that the video was leaked out by the police.
In SIBU on Monday night, Anwar said the sex video may have caused PKR a few bruises ahead of the Sarawak state elections, but he would not be distracted by the allegations.
Admitting that he has declined to comment on the video clip during his visits to the state, Anwar said that others have misconceived his lack of response as being defensive.
“I want to give my full concentration to the issues in Sarawak.
“I will fight them (the perpetrators of the sex video clip) on any grounds. But do you expect me to trust the system?,” Anwar asked during a talk in Kampung Baru.
