KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 4 — Let see what happen to the sodomy case of Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. At 11am, the high court adjourned for the prosecutors and defence team to visit the condominium where the opposition leader was claim to sodomised his former aide Mohd Saiful.
This claim to happen in Unit 11-5-1 of Desa Damansara Condominium in Jalan Setiakasih, Bukit Damansara. between 3.01pm and 4.30pm on June 26, 2008. He also said the visit to the condominium required the use of a password which he said was “Mokhtar”.
The 62 years old PKR leader has denied the charge, describing it as “evil, frivolous lies by those in power” when the charge was read out to him.
He is charged under Section 377B of the Penal Code and can be sentenced to a maximum of 20 years in jail and whipping upon conviction. The trial is taking place 18 months after Anwar was charged in court in August 2008.
Anwar’s lead counsel Karpal Singh yesterday asked for Saiful’s testimony to be heard in-camera after he graphically described Anwar’s use of profanity in asking for sex.
The 24-year-old had also testified he had worked for Anwar for four months, from early March 2008 to June 28 of the same year, and stopped being the Permatang Pauh MP’s special aide because he did not want to be further abused.
