Malaysians are seriously asking, “How did the pornographic video clip get uploaded to YouTube? Who was responsible for making this vile tape available?”
It would not be difficult to make a wild guess! We all have an inkling who could have done this and for what purpose.
It was meant to give far wider coverage to the clip – to denigrate and vilify Anwar Ibrahim for political mileage. It is not difficult to conclude who will gain from such political mileage.
It was not only given air time but it was also covered widely by the print media as well with images that purportedly resembled Anwar. They really went to town in their despicable attempt to destroy Anwar so that he will not be their downfall in the next general election.
The infamous Datuk Trio were the ones who were originally in possession of the pornography video clip allegedly implicating Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. They were the ones who screened this porno video to invited guests on several occasions.
They subsequently claimed they had surrendered the original copy to the police. But they never said that they had not made a copy of the tape or were in possession of one. Nobody bothered to raise this issue. Even if anyone did, nobody reported it.
All they said was that the original copy was given to the police. But it doesn’t mean they could not have made copies for whatever purposes.
No lesser person than the Inspector-General of Police has strongly denied that the police had leaked the snippets of the pornography video featuring a man somewhat resembling Anwar Ibrahim having a liaison with a Chinese prostitute in a hotel. According to the IGP, “Of course, it did not come from us. How can I allow such a thing.”
The question then arises, “Where did the porn video come from?”
The IGP’s statement was very telling, “It was ‘Datuk T’ who said that there was one copy of the video. But, we do not know if it is the truth. You should ask them.”
Why should the reporters ask ‘Datuk T’? Shouldn’t the police be asking ‘Datuk T’ whether they told the truth when they claimed that they had given the police the original copy?
Isn’t it logical, Mr IGP, that you should actually ask ‘Datuk T’ whether it was the only copy in their possession that was given to the police, especially when you said, “We do not know if it is the truth”.
Clearly, the screening of this snippet is wrong. So was the screening of the tape to selected invited guests. Would it not be natural to go after the ‘Datuk T’ to grill them for the truth and take the necessary action?
Another obvious question that has been ignored is puzzling. In the snippet, there is a third person. What was his role and why was he there? If anybody wants to have sex with a prostitute, would he bring along someone to be present?
Was the third person directing the entire scene? Did he tell the person with the towel wrapped around him to put his hand under the towel between his legs? Was that the reason the guy with the towel was grinning away? It must have been very amusing to that guy!
Let’s have the truth. Let’s get down to the truth!

The best defence is offence— so pkr should counterattack by using actors to portray the little tambi with a little girl, jib with altan, ect and upload them onto the net.

Datuk T confirmed that they handed the only copy to the police. They must have signed a sworn statement. So if they didn’t do it – a very big IF given the reputation of these commission agents – then it must be the police. The final analysis is that either Datuk T trio is lying or that the police is lying. Both are sub-divisions of UMNO, so take your pick.
By the way, there are rumours that PKR has a photo of Najib having dinner with Razak Baginda and an unidentified woman in Paris several years back. Maybe we should call for an RCI on this matter.

Don’t waste time on the sex video, focus on the Sarawak elections!

These issue will not end until 2020.

I have seen the photo of Najib, Razak Baginda and the Mongolian women too but do not remember which network or time. If I have access, I print it out with my own expanse and distribute in Sarawak and nation wide now. What are we waiting for? The next GE?

I can only conclude that this sex video is a joint venture project by UMNO, PDRM and Datuk T.
Only an idiot will refute this claim.

IGP, you’ve just taken this post recently. Do your best according to your conscience and believe in God. If not, you are no better than your former boss.

Stay on course, let’s not get distracted!
There are bigger and more important issues facing the nation and rakyat that needs our attention – Al-Kitab issue has not been resolved yet and Idris Jala has been made to lick the puke from umno, no?
We know those bastards will stop at nothing to discredit Anwar. They are desperate and they know their days are numbered but, there’s nothing Anwar can’t handle so let’s stay focused on our march to PutraJaya!
Down with BN!

///What was his (3rd person) role and why was he there? If anybody wants to have sex with a prostitute, would he bring along someone to be present?/// -P Ramakrishnan
I don’t have the experience to speculate on an answer! Seriously such a question is not that meaningful to discredit or give credit to the video’s controversial claims . It admit all kinds of possibilities & answers. Ordinarily no one is having sex in front of a third party (though even this has its exceptions as when the principal wants to perform a ‘tiger’ show). In any case the brief clip only shows the 3rd party’s presence in the initial period supposedly before the act/service, isn’t it? He (if he were introducer to the partiular joint) could be there to make sure everything is OK, the sex worker is OK to the friend brought there etc. The more important issue is whether there is a conspiracy/plan or a means (yet to be unfolded/revealed) to get this third party to come forward to make the claim that he was the one etc and could bear witness based on actual knowledge of the events/circumstances in respect of the video.

What “porn” video..?
There was no pornography in the clip that I saw.
If anything, whoever uploaded it to Youtube did Anwar a favour because it’s so obviously not him in that clip.
As for copies – welcome to the 21st century where nobody uses “tape” any more. There’s probably a hundred digital copies in various datuks possession and they’re all completely useless because anybody with half-a-brain will be able to see that it’s not Anwar.
Now let’s get on with some real politics and vote out BN. Enough of this nonsense I say

Stop Press!!! Just got this mail from ?????
“Some updates from my Pakatan source on the new sex scandal video…
– The man in the tape is not Anwar… that much is sure… but he looks very similar… but was well shot by Malaysia’s top flim maker…?
– This sex video was actually in Barisan’s potential weapons to be used in 13th General Elections.
– But what made them dust it off in a hurry and use it now… it’s got to do with Sarawak state elections.
– BN’s internal polling revealed that BN will be losing far too many seats in the state elections due to anger towards Taib Mahmud.
– BN’s internal polling shows that Taib’s party PBB itself is projected to lose about 50% of its seats… and SUPP will lose all it’s seats etc.
– They figured BN will still win… but with a much reduced majority… lost is 2/3 majority and even just win by around 55-60% majority (As predicted by Raja Petra in his video).
BN needs to win S’wak big time in order to keep as many Parliament seats in 13th GE.
– So Najib and Muhyiddin both went to see Taib in Sarawak about 2 weeks ago… never have the PM and deputy PM gone to visit a state together.
– They went to pressure Taib to resign… and appoint a caretaker CM before state elections… hoping with Taib leaving… people will be less angry and they can still win handsomely.
– Taib… it seems assured them he will consider it seriously… but… Taib threw a shocker.
– He sent off Najib and Muhyiddin at the airport… as soon as the plane took off… Taib called for a press conference in the airport itself.
– He announced that he will dissolve the state assembly next week… and will remain as CM… and will retire after the elections after a transition period to enable the new CM to get up to speed.
– Najib and Muhyiddin got the shocking news… after they landed in KLIA. Taib just showed them the finger.
– Since the state assembly dissolution is announced… nothing can be done… and since Pakatan is getting stronger by the day in S’wak. Something needs to be done.
– They had to dust off Anwar’s purported sex tape and destroy PKR’s credibility hoping that people will be wary of opposition.
– In a hurry… talk about dumb asses trying to frame people without goofing up.
– The rooms that was used to screen the tape to reporters at Carcosa was booked… of all people… by Risda… a federal govt agency.
– Risda’s chairman is Rahim Thamby Chick… the guy who raped an underaged girl once… ( and saved by a Bell – a Ding Dong named Mahathir).
– And the Datuk is also strongly linked to UMNO.
– Then they tried to lure PKR MP’s to jump ship by showing them the video and of course monetary rewards.
What is really funny about this is that…
– The room in Carcosa was actually booked by Ketua Umno Bhg Bukit Gantang, who is also special officer to Tan Sri Rahim Thamby Chik.
Paid for it by credit card and worse of all… are you ready for this…
he asked for a corporate discount by using his Risda’s corporate account. (What a dumb ASS!)”
Your call.

When a nation is administered by a gang of Mafia, anything and everything is possible. These evil deranged low beings will get away with murders!!
This pornographic video clip get uploaded to YouTube was just a small matter compared to the poor Mongolian lady who was blown to pieces with C4, How about a top UMNO man having a rendezvous in a Bungalow in Port Dickson, why the silence? Very selective targets were chosen and only made possible for public viewing if the Godfather permitted it to happen….like to make a guess who that VVIP is?

Hishammuddin Hussein is suing Anwar over allegations that he was behind the sex tape. Has Anwar proof to justify his allegations? Otherwise he is just unncessarily exposing himself to risks of successful defamatory suits which will only disqualify him from politics or weaken his capacity to lead the Opposition coalition that many Malaysians hope could help effect a reginme change. (The way opposition members were sued, bankrupted and disqualified down in the Red Dot is salutary reminder of what could happen here. This way by defamatory suits could be more effective to bring him down than amateurish grainy black & white sex video. As a leader on whom many pin hopes to hold opposition together and lead the country out of its quagmire Anwar should take his role more seriously than take such risks of making allegations (unless he otherwise has concrete proof).

///Hishammuddin Hussein is suing Anwar over allegations that he was behind the sex tape. Has Anwar proof to justify his allegations?///– Jeffrey
I think it is the meaning of the word “behind” that matters. Literally, the word behind can mean support. The support is seen given by Kerismuddin in the sense that he took , or his Police Department took no action to arrest the Trio who screened the sex movie. “Behind” could include Kerismuddin masterminding the whole Carcosa sex episode but it needs not be restricted to that.
In any case, Anwar needs not comment beyond denying that he was the person. Najib swore in the mosque, and his words were accepted. Anwar should do the same.

The US Presidential campaign for 2012 is going to kick off soon. Obama should enlist the help of Datuk T to produce a video clip of Sarah Palin doing the big naughty with Muammar Ghadhafi.
#19 by Jeffrey on Saturday, 9 April 2011 - 10:40 am
That police took no action to arrest the Trio who screened the sex movie (so far) – and therefore Kerismuddin is “behind” the masterminding the whole Carcosa sex episode is a mere suspicion based on an inference/argument that is a conjecture and not a fact to constitute a credible defence in defamation suit. The difference is how one says things. No defamation suit is or example threatened against Kit because he makes a point more circumspectly than the PKR leader.

Will somebody elucidate me! Is it the norm for rich men, when they are in a boudoir, to take out their rolex-watches and put them in a place where the watch is not easily noticeable? Not all Malaysians are as stupid as some chums in Putrajaya to believe that anyone can leave a Rolex watch in a boudoir. I would think that watches, wallets, and wife’s photo would all be kept on a dressing table top, awaiting the time for redressing!
