Mohamed Nazri Abdul Aziz.

KUALA LUMPUR: The “Datuk T” trio, who exposed the sex video involving a man resembling an opposition leader, will be protected under the Witness Protection Act and Whistleblower Act should the authorities feel they have a case.
Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Mohamed Nazri Abdul Aziz said the Acts could be used to protect the three individuals involved in making the video public.

“However, both Acts need not be used at the moment as no party has been prosecuted and the case is still under police investigation,” he told reporters at the Parliament lobby today, when asked to comment on protection laws available to the three.

Former Malacca chief minister Abdul Rahim Tamby Chik, businessman Shazryl Eskay Abdullah and Perkasa treasurer Shuib Lazim, have admitted that they were part of the Datuk T trio responsible for keeping and screening the video to members of the media at Carcosa Seri Negara last week.

PKR adviser Anwar Ibrahim has denied that he was the man in the video and lodged a police report on the matter.

Following the revelation, the individuals also came forward for interrogation by Bukit Aman police and handed over the video and an Omega watch as proof.

Nazri said the matter did not only revolve around the law but also involved morals.
