7 reasons why sex video is a political conspiracy

Source

It was been reported today that Shuib Lazim (of the infamous ‘ Datuk T ‘ trio) has called upon Anwar Ibrahim to swear on God’s name that he is not the man in the sex video.

Shuib Lazim’s challenge is desperate, ridiculous and a theatrical attempt to try and persuade the public that Anwar Ibrahim is the man in the video.

There is no need for Anwar to take any such oath for the following reasons:

1 No proof whatsoever has been adduced to show that the man in the video is Anwar Ibrahim.

2 Anwar himself has consistently denied it. His wife Dr Wan Azizah, who is also a medical doctor, has viewed the YouTube clip and stated decisively that it is not Anwar.

3 The video itself was produced by a group led by Rahim Thamby Chik who is an Umno henchman and agent. This points clearly to a political conspiracy engineered by Umno.

4 Shuib Lazim, the other culprit invoved in the criminal act of exhibiting the obscene video, is treasurer of the NGO Perkasa. Perkasa is a rabid opponent of Anwar Ibrahim and Pakatan Rakyat.

5 It has been almost a month after the screening of the video, but no action has been taken by police against the ‘Datuk T’ trio. This points to a wider conspiracy involving the highest elements in the police force, Attorney-General’s office and Umno leadership.

6 A series of statements have been issued by police which have nothing to do with the police investigation into the possession and screening

of the video under s.292 Penal Code. First, the police issued a statement claiming that the video is authentic.Next, during the Sarawak state elections, they made prejudicial and irrelevant comments on the search for the owner of the Omega watch. These were calculated to prejudice the public against Anwar Ibrahim and is further indication of high-level police involvement in the conspiracy.

7 Finally, the long track record of the police, Attorney-General’s office and Umno leadership in conspiring to fabricate criminal charges against Anwar Ibrahim since 1998 affords convincing proof that the sex video is part of a plot to end  the political career of Anwar Ibrahim and halt Pakatan Rakyat’s march to Putrajaya.
