It is now confirmed. Anwar Ibrahim will be charged in court tomorrow, 7th August 2008, for sodomy offence. It will be a much awaited event as Anwar is now expected to contest in a by-election for the parlimentary seat of Permatang Pauh.
The seat had been vacated by his wife Wan Azizah who had been holding the forte there since Anwar was sacked, also for sodomy allegation by Mahathir, way back in 1998. The nomination date for the by-election had been set on 16th August 2008 and if there is a contest, the by-election will be held on 26th August …read more

So, a new ACA report against Pak Lah and Najib had been made by, surprise… surprise…, a veteran Selangor Umno leader Datuk Mazlan Harun. Wow… this is really the first in history of UMNO Baru and the nation. This guy really know how to kill two birds, two big birds, with just one stone…. although the stone is a bit too small compared to the sizes of the birds.
But seriously, what do they expect to come out of this report? I’d say… nothing. Why? Errr, you know why. Small fishes… yes. Big fishes… NO NO. That is the …read more

I think by now, the whole world are convinced that this second sodomy charge against Anwar Ibrahim is yet another fabricated issue to stop Anwar’s return into politics. The whole drama, just like the first sodomy case many years back is full of inconsistencies and controversies… but laughable even by kids standards.
First, Najib said he never met Saiful Bukhari. Then he said he did meet Saiful Bukhari but that was on scholarsip application matters…. never mind the fact that Saiful Bukhari is a college drop-out after performing badly in his tertiary study.
Later, Anwar was arrested one hour before the 2pm …read more

For all those who think that Anwar should swear in the name of Allah using the Quran to prove his innocence, you are definitely barking the wrong tree. In this sodomy allegation case, Anwar is not required to prove anything. The sodomy case is similar to adultery (zina) case. The onus is on Saiful Bukhari Azlan, the accuser, to prove his allegation.
In Islam, Saiful Bukhari Azlan has to produce at least 4 witnesses to back his claim against Anwar. Yes… you read it correct. No less than 4 witnesses of the actual sodomy acts being committed are required to …read more

Then….
Americk told Malaysiakini that Balasubramaniam received a phone call from the police soon after his press conference yesterday to report to the Brickfields police station.
“I advised him that as a law-abiding citizen, he should go and see them. So I fetched him to the Brickfields police station at 4.45pm yesterday and I haven’t …read more
