Obscene booklets of Anwar hit Sabah

KOTA KINABALU: Police have been urged to investigate the mass distribution of a booklet called “Mentor 5” that is riddled with lewd wordings and photographs of Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim in compromising positions.



United Sabah Taekwando Association (USTA) president David Chong said the 14-page booklet was disturbing, especially the caricatures and doctored pictures showing someone resembling PKR de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim and another person naked and in compromising positions.

“I have received complaints and was given a copy of the booklet … it is printed in colour. The complainant received the booklet through the mail on March 29.
“The booklet is sent using an 80 sen stamp and based on the post office rubber stamp it was sent from Pahang,” said Chong.

Chong described the booklets as “very disturbing” and that those responsible for publishing and sending them were going overboard in their bid to character assassinate the opposition leader.

“What worries me the most is that the booklet falling into the hands of schoolchildren. They will take this to school and show it to their friends.
“Being immature they may believe that it is all right for them to do whatever is said in the booklet.

“I hope the police and relevant authorities will look into the matter seriously.

“This is no longer political but involves the morality of the people in the country,” he said.

Chong believed the booklets were sent throughout the country using addresses randomly picked from the telephone directory.

He said TV3 should also initiate its investigation into the booklet because it had used the name “Mentor 5”, which was a singing competition reality show produced by the television station.

In the booklet, Anwar is depicted as the “Sifu” or mentor and one of his disciples is Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan.
In subsequent pages, both the face of Anwar and Saiful were “pasted” over men posing naked as well as on the face of two mating animals. Saiful is a key witness in Anwar’s ongoing sodomy II trial.

PKR vice-president and Anwar’s daugher Nurul Izzah had lodged a police report last week in Kuala Lumpur claiming that lewd cartoons depicting her father were being posted to the constituents in Lembah Pantai.

A sex video was also revealed two weeks ago by a trio calling themselves Datuk T, allegedly showing Anwar having sex with a foreign sex worker. Anwar has denied that he was the man in the video.
