The alleged affair between Farah Azlina Latif and Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan has thrown a spanner to the prosecution work in the current trial of Anwar Ibrahim sodomy case.
Opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim wants his second sodomy charge to be struck out, following allegations that deputy public prosecutor Farah Azlina Latif and Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan, the complainant and chief witness in the case, were having an affair.
Anwar’s lead counsel Karpal Singh told the High Court on Monday that he had filed an application for Anwar’s charge to be struck out at the High Court Registry.
He claimed that the integrity of the prosecution team led by Solicitor-General (S-G) II Datuk Mohd Yusof Zainal Abiden had been compromised as a result of the alleged affair, and that Mohd Yusof should “take the blame”.
“Farah would have been privy, of course, as part of the prosecution team, to investigation papers.
“There is a strong likelihood of Saiful had access to all documents, including the statement by Datuk Seri Anwar,” he said, adding that both would have committed an offence under Section 8(1) and (2) of the Official Secrets Act (OSA) 1972, as investigation papers were classified under the act.
He said that as such, the charge against Anwar ought to be struck out by the court.
Section 8(1) relates to any person who has in his possession or control any official secret, and communicates it, while Section 8(2) relates to any person who receives any official secret.
At about 11am, Anwar lodged a police report against Farah Azlina and Saiful, claiming that they had committed an offence under the act.
“There has also been no denial on this allegation so far by either the Attorney-General, Farah or saiful.
“Now they have the opportunity to reply to the affidavit,” Karpal said.
He also said that the alleged affair was a matter for the Syariah courts to look into.
Mohd Yusof, however, argued that they were “bare allegations without any substance”.
When asked by the press later if the prosecution was denying the allegations, he asked a question in return: “Do they (the defence) have personal knowledge of this?”
On July 27, A-G Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail confirmed that Farah Azlina was dropped from the prosecution team in Anwar’s second sodomy trial.
Farah Azlina was also dropped from the Prosecution Division of the A-G’s Chambers for the same reason.
Anwar, 63, had claimed trial to sodomising his former aide Mohd Saiful, 25, at Desa Damansara Condominium in Jalan Setiakasih, Bukit Damansara between 3.01pm and 4.30pm on June 26, 2008.
The case had opened Monday to hear the cross examination of Hospital Kuala Lumpur general surgeon Dr Mohd Razali Ibrahim, who is the second prosecution witness in the case.
However, Justice Mohamad Zabidin Mohd Diah fixed Aug 9 to hear and dispose of the striking out application first.

Anwar defence team claimed judge lied. Lead defence counsel Karpal Singh accused the judge presiding over the Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim sodomy trial of being a liar. Karpal on Wednesday argued that trial judge Justice Mohamad Zabidin Mohd Diah was lying when he said that evidence in relation to a bed in the Desa Damansara condominium had been given in open court.
The judge had said last Friday that he did not find any indication of contempt of court in a photograph showing Anwar’s accuser Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan pointing to a bed that was published in a Malay daily.
Karpal is asking Justice Mohamad Zabidin to recuse himself for not cautioning or citing the newspaper for contempt for publishing the photograph.
The defence maintains that the visit to the bedroom and condominium was part of proceedings held behind closed doors.
“There is nothing in the notes of proceedings or audio before this court to show that this detail was ever mentioned in open court.
“With much respect, your lordship did not tell the truth. We translate, you are lying. You lied and it can and has been proven that you are not being honest in court. You can’t be impartial and you can’t be unbiased.
“On those grounds, you have no alternative but to step down. It is not a mere perception but a reality. You stand condemned by your own ruling,” Karpal submitted in the recusal application before a packed courtroom Wednesday.
Anwar had on Monday applied to recuse the trial judge on the grounds that his two rulings concerning news reports of the case had raised an element of bias.
The Opposition leader, 63, claimed trial to sodomising his former aide, Mohd Saiful, 24, at the Desa Damansara Condominium in Jalan Setiakasih, Bukit Damansara, here between 3.01pm and 4.30pm on June 26, 2008.
Karpal said: “In this application, what is fundamental, I say without mincing my words, you are guilty of not having stated of what is the truth.”
“It is not the truth and it is a lie,” he said firmly, shocking the courtroom.
He said his role was to defend his client to the best of his ability, adding that justice must “manifestly, expressedly and undoubtedly” be seen to be done.
“It is no point blaming the foreign press for (writing about) our legal system if a judge does not deliver what is expected of him in a trial. The judiciary of this country must redeem itself in the eyes of international (observers),” he said.
He said there was no blanket immunity for judges.
“You have forfeited the right to sit down on that chair and proceed to hear the trial,” he said, stunning everyone in court.
On the trial judge dismissing his application summarily and ruling that the two articles with allegedly misleading headlines published by Utusan did not have the intention of being mischievous or to disrupt proceedings, Karpal said the judge could not come to such a conclusion on behalf of the newspaper.
Citing the Judges Code of Conduct 2009, enforced on July 1 last year, Karpal said the judge could also be subjected to disciplinary proceedings if he was found to have contravened the ethical requirement to perform his judicial duty without bias.
Lead prosecutor Solicitor-General II Datuk Mohd Yusof Zainal Abiden, however, submitted that no one should carelessly argue about impartiality of a judge.
DPP Mohd Yusof said the concerned party should prove that a judge had a pecuniary interest in order to disqualify him from further hearing the trial.
“The real danger of bias has to be examined in the context of the complaint. There is real danger of bias when the public concludes your lordship will be unfair to the parties by not deciding based on evidence adduced in court, or your lordship decides on erroneous grounds,” he said in asking the court to dismiss the disqualification application.
On the photograph caption, DPP Mohd Yusof said it only referred to a room where the offence allegedly took place and that there was no dispute that the complainant went there.
“To say your lordship lied is a very strong word. You (lawyers) have to be polite. Certain ethics must be preserved,” he said.
On the contention that there were two misleading headlines in Utusan over the sodomy trial, DPP Mohd Yusof said it was “proven” through the notes of proceedings that the concerned reporter had reported the truth and that the defence owed an apology.
Justice Mohamad Zabidin set Feb 18 to deliver his decision on the recusal application, saying that he needed time to study the submissions and case law provided by both parties.
Blow-by-blow account of today's proceedings:
11.25am: Court is adjourned. Justice Mohamad Zabidin will deliver his decision on recusal application on Feb 18.
11.12am: Justice Mohamad Zabidin said he is unable to decide today. Court stands down as judge wants to see both parties in chambers to discuss on a date to deliver a decision on recusal application.
11.01am: Karpal begins responding. “If you are referring to a room, why are you pointing to a bed?” he questioned.
11.00am: Mohd Yusof describes the Utusan Malaysia "blunder" as remeh (frivolous) and expresses hope that the application to recuse the judge will be dismissed.
10.39am: He said the caption for the photograph, “Menunjukkan katil di mana tempat kejadian berlaku” does not mean alleged sodomy took place on the bed. He added that the caption meant to refer to the master bedroom where the alleged incident happened and not the bed.
10.37am: He said the Utusan Malaysia “blunder” was not committed in court and subsequently, the judge not responding to it, was not an outright dismissal. He added that it was erroneous to give an impression to the public that the judge had dismissed the motion. Quoting from the court transcript, Mohd Yusof said: “Apa sebab sebab kamu berhenti kerja?” “Sebab sebenar, saya tidak mahu diliwat lagi.”
10.20am: Mohd Yusof said reasons to disqualify the judge must come from the trial itself and not over minor things like newspaper reports adding that the complaint against Utusan Malaysia is not an issue.
He said a decision, which is adverse to one party, is not grounds to disqualify the judge. He added earlier that personal bias is when there is personal friendshp or animosity by the judge with anyone involved in the case.
“That is not the case here,” he said.
10.10am: Lead prosecutor Solicitor-General II Datuk Mohd Yusof Zainal Abiden starts addressing the court.
10.05am: Karpal said complaints in Anwar’s affidavit is over a photograph which appeared on the frontpage of Utusan Malaysia and was captioned as Mohd Saiful pointing out to the judge the bed where he was sodomised.
Karpal added there was nothing in the proceedings which mentioned “bed” as a detail during the trial.
He added that Justice Mohamad Zabidin needed to step down as he was quoted as saying that the details of the bed had been made in open court when the actual proceedings never mentioned anything about a bed.
He also questioned Justice Mohamad Zabidin’s conclusion that the Malay daily was not attacking Anwar with its headline: “Berhenti kerana tak mahu diliwat lagi”.
9.55am: In addressing Justice Mohamad Zabidin, Karpal said that impartiality must exist when presiding over a case and a judge must be honest and beyond suspicion. "Judges have the fundamental duty to be impartial, regardless of race, religion and ethnicity," he said.
9.45am: Karpal said the prosecution has replied to Anwar’s application to recuse the judge Justice Mohamad Zabidin Mohd Diah from presiding over the trial, which in turn has been replied by the defence on Wednesday.
“Let us not waste time with the proceedings. We want to go ahead,” he tells the court.
9.40am: Court is in session.
9.21am: Anwar Ibrahim’s lead counsel Karpal Singh arrives at court. Earlier, the courtroom was slowly filling up as police checked those who wanted to enter.

The High Court adjourned Opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s sodomy trial to Wednesday (after the Chinese New Year) to hear submissions on Anwar’s application to disqualify the trial judge on grounds of bias.
The case was adjourned less than 10 minutes after it was called to allow Anwar’s lead counsel, Karpal Singh, time to file an affidavit-in-reply to an affidavit filed by the prosecution on Monday on the matter.
“There were certain denials by my learned friend (Solicitor-General II Datuk Mohd Yusof Zainal Abiden) on the accuracy of facts.
“They are not accepting the position we are putting forth, and we have to reply to it,” Karpal told the court Tuesday.
He added that the affidavit would be filed this afternoon after getting the transcripts on the court proceedings.
On Monday, Anwar applied to have the trial judge Justice Mohamad Zabidin Mohd Diah disqualified from hearing the trial on grounds that his two rulings concerning Malay daily Utusan Malaysia’s news reports on the case raised an element of bias.
In their affidavit-in-reply, the prosecution, led by Mohd Yusof, said that before the Utusan Malaysia reporter could be cited for contempt, the court had to first decide on whether the newspaper reports were written maliciously, and whether it had interfered with the administration of justice and undermined a fair trial.
The matter was to have been heard Tuesday.
On a related matter, Mohd Yusof also voiced his concern that no affidavit should be made available to the press if it had not been presented in court as it could contain “scandalous matters which parties can apply to strike out”.
Karpal, however, cited a Federal Court ruling that any affidavit that had been filed in court was considered a public document, and therefore, could be published by the press.
Justice Mohd Zabidin then said that dissatisfied parties could always take legal action against the press, and also cautioned the press against inaccurate reporting, saying that while he had no intention to encroach on press freedom, members of the media would have to face the music if they reported inaccurately.
“I believe in freedom of the press, but it does not include inaccurate reporting,” he said.
Anwar, 63, has claimed trial to sodomising his former personal aide Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan, 24, at the Desa Damansara Condominium in Bukit Damansara on June 26, 2008.
He is charged under Section 377B of the Penal Code and could be sentenced up to 20 years and whipping upon conviction.

Opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim applied to recuse the judge in his sodomy trial on the grounds that his two rulings in relation to media coverage of the trial brought “to surface an element of a real danger of bias.”. Basically, the Anwar team is trying to get judge disqualified.
Anwar, 63, made his application to recuse trial judge Justice Mohamad Zabidin Mohd Diah through his lead counsel Karpal Singh at 9.58am in open court Monday.
Karpal said Anwar wants to disqualify the trial judge and that the sodomy trial should not proceed until the disposal of the PKR adviser’s application for recusal.
“This is a serious matter. We will be here tommorrow (Tuesday) for the hearing of the application for the judge to recuse himself,” he said.
However, lead prosecutor Solicitor-General II Datuk Mohd Yusof Zainal Abiden urged the court to proceed with the sodomy trial, saying that he needed to file an affidavit-in-reply to the disqualification application.
Upon hearing the submissions by both parties, Justice Mohamad Zabidin set 9.30am Tuesday to hear the application that he ought to recuse himself from further hearing the sodomy trial.
Justice Mohamad Zabidin said he would allow for some time in order for DPP Mohd Yusof to file an affidavit-in-reply to the disqualification application.
Anwar’s lawyer Sankara Nair said he had filed the application at the High Court criminal court registry at 9am on Monday.
Speaking to reporters later, Karpal said Anwar was worried that he would not get a fair trial due to previous rulings of the trial judge.
“If the trial judge has cautioned the newspaper, at least it will different. He should have sent a signal that he will not tolerate any interference by the media. His decisions cannot be supported,” he said.
Karpal said the defence team was not running away from the sodomy trial.
“It is not a delaying tactic. We want to proceed with the sodomy trial. We (just) want this (matter) to be clear,” he said.
In elaborating, Karpal said the trial judge’s ruling over the disqualification application would not be appealable as it were made in the course of the trial.
“It is not a final order as it does not finally dispose the rights of the (concerned) party (Anwar). It is not a conviction or an acquittal order (meted out by the High Court),” he said.
In an affidavit filed to support his application Monday, Anwar said Karpal had applied to court on Feb 4 to cite Utusan Malaysia for contempt of court over two articles published by the newspaper over Feb 3’s open court proceedings with allegedly misleading headlines.
Anwar claimed that the two headlines were “TAK RELA DILIWAT LAGI” (Not willing to be sodomised again) appeared on the front page of the Feb 4 Utusan report while “BERHENTI KERANA TIDAK MAHU DILIWAT LAGI” (Resigned because did not want to be sodomised again) was published on the third page of the newspaper.
Anwar claimed that the trial judge had dismissed his counsel’s application summarily on the ground that the said reports were not carried with the intention of being mischievous and to disrupt the trial proceedings.
In his papers, Anwar said the Malay daily had once again on Feb 5 carried on its front page a photograph with a caption saying that complainant Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan showing a bed to the trial judge where he was allegedly sodomised by him at the master bedroom in a condominium unit during his (judge) visit at Desa Damansara Condominium in Bukit Damansara.
Anwar claimed that his counsel had urged the trial judge to caution Utusan for having carried the photograph, saying that it was misleading and it was in relation to closed proceedings.
Anwar said the trial judge had declined to caution Utusan and that to his disbelief had ruled that the publication of the picture as evidence regarding the bed had been given in open court the previous day.
“This pronouncement by the learned judge is not borne out by what actually transpired in open court, not in the notes of proceedings, both written and audio,” he said.
In his affidavit, Anwar also said the rulings by the trial judge brought to surface an element of real danger of bias.
“I respectfully state as a result of the rulings made by the trial judge, there has been a departure from the standard of even-handed justice which the law requires.
“With respect, the learned trial judge has not adjudicated upon the applications made by my counsel with an independent mind,” he said.
He said he was entitled for a fair trial pursuant to provisions of Article 5(1) of the Federal Constitution.
Monday’s proceedings were expected to kick off with the much awaited cross-examination of Mohd Saiful, Anwar’s accuser and the only witness to have taken the stand so far.
Last week, Mohd Saiful testified that the PKR adviser had tried to come on to him.
He also claimed that he had idolised Anwar as a child and was interested in working for him because he was a charismatic leader.
Mohd Saiful said his friend Rahimi Osman had called him in early March to come to his office – Anwar’s office – in Section 16, Petaling Jaya, for a chit-chat.
“At that time, he asked me if I was employed or had any work. When I told him that I was not doing anything, he asked me if I wanted to be Anwar’s assistant as he claimed they were facing a shortage of staff,” he said.
On his move to resign from his job, Mohd Saiful said he had sent an e-mail to Anwar on June 27.
“After a few hours, Anwar called and scolded me. He asked me to meet him at his office in Section 16. I was scared but I went to see him as asked,” he said.
Mohd Saiful said he told Anwar his reasons – he was not disciplined and had always come to work late, and he was less qualified than other staff.
However, he said the real reason he resigned was that, “I was not willing to be treated in such a manner any more.”
“He asked me to be more disciplined and made a counter-offer that he wished to sponsor my studies and that I could still enjoy my full salary and allowances,” he said.
He said he was afraid to reject the offer in front of him and agreed to it. He said Anwar sent him an e-mail several hours later stating: “Thank you for being willing to continue your service.”
Mohd Saiful also claimed that he did not pass motion for two days after he was allegedly sodomised.
The prosecution had earlier said that it intends to prove that semen samples taken from the witness’ anus belonged to Anwar.
Anwar, 63, has claimed trial to sodomising his former personal aide at the Desa Damansara Condominium in Bukit Damansara on June 26, 2008.
He is charged under Section 377B of the Penal Code and could be sentenced up to 20 years and whipping upon conviction.

The third day of Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s sodomy trial saw his accuser Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan, who campaigned for Barisan Nasional in the 12th general election in 2008, saying that he had idolised the Opposition leader.
Mohd Saiful said he decided to work for Anwar as a personal aide because he had idolised him as a child since he was a charismatic leader.
When he wanted to resign this post, Anwar tried to convince him to stay on by offering to sponsor his education, Mohd Saiful told the High Court here on Friday.
“At that time I did not object to the offer. Then after the meeting (with Anwar) several hours later, he sent me an e-mail, saying, ‘Thank you for agreeing to continue (your) service’,” he said.
Earlier, he told the court that he did not pass motion for two days after the alleged sodomy incident on June 26, 2008.
Mohd Saiful, 24, said this upon questioning by lead prosecutor Solicitor-General II Datuk Mohd Yusof Zainal Abiden, who had wanted to know whether he had passed motion between the incident and when he was examined by the KL Hospital doctor.
Anwar, 63, has claimed trial to sodomising his former personal aide at the Desa Damansara Condominium in Bukit Damansara on June 26, 2008.
He is charged under Section 377B of the Penal Code and could be sentenced up to 20 years and whipping upon conviction.
To another question by DPP Mohd Yusof, Mohd Saiful said he informed the Hospital Pusrawi doctor that he had pains in his stomach and anus upon being queried by him.
He had gone to Pusrawi before he was finally directed to the KL Hospital.
The Pusrawi doctor wanted to insert something into his anus during the examination, Mohd Saiful said, so he decided to be frank with him and confessed to the alleged sodomy. The doctor stopped the examination when told this.
Mohd Saiful said the doctor also did not reveal any results of his examination during the period.
At the outset of the court proceedings Friday, Mohd Saiful identified 11 samples taken from him, among them swabs taken from below his tongue, his nipples, body, perianal region, private parts, as well as high and low rectal swabs, and blood for DNA profiling.
When these samples, sealed in containers, were checked by the defence team, there were whispers and laughter from the public gallery.
Questioned by DPP Mohd Yusof, Mohd Saiful said his name was stated on each envelope used to keep the containers.
When his blood samples were identified, Mohd Saiful kept looking at those seated, including the family members of the Opposition leader, in the public gallery.
When questioned, Mohd Saiful said photographs of his body, face, private parts, back and legs were also taken when examinations were conducted on him.
He said he had handed over his branded long-sleeved blue shirt which he wore on the day of alleged sodomy incident and KY Jelly lubricant to an investigating officer at the KL Hospital on June 29, 2008.
He said he immediately signed a form when he delivered those items that day.
He said he had also later given a long-sleeved green shirt which he had used when lodging the police report, a pair of black slacks which he wore on the day of incident, and two sets of underwear to the police in the course of their investigation.
When asked by DPP Mohd Yusof, he said the black slacks were a gift from Anwar.
Later Friday, the trial judge, the prosecution and the defence revisited the Desa Damansara condominium where the alleged sodomy took place. Among those who visited the Unit 11-5-1 of the condominium were Justice Datuk Mohamad Zabidin Mohd Diah, Anwar and Mohd Saiful.
They were there at noon and left about 50 minutes later.
It was the second visit to the condominium following a request by the defence. The parties in the trial visited the same place Thursday.
The trial has been adjourned to 9.30am Monday, when Mohd Saiful will be cross-examined.

* Saiful Bukhari Azlan vs Anwar Ibrahim sodomy trial - Day 1
The sodomy trial of Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim entered its second day with Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan continuing his testimony in-camera at the request of Anwar’s lawyers. The proceedings stood down after the closed session for the trial judge to visit the condominium apartment where the alleged offence took place.
Hearing resumed in open court at 2.45pm with Anwar’s lead counsel Karpal Singh making an application to cite Malay daily Utusan Malaysia for contempt over the newspaper’s front page coverage of the case.
This was turned down.
Earlier, Anwar arrived at the court room at 10.02am and the hearing started at 10.30am.
Ramkarpal Singh Deo, who is among Anwar’s lawyers, said Mohd Saiful was still under examination-in-chief by Solicitor-General II Datuk Mohd Yusof Zainal Abiden.
The one-time Anwar special aide was the first witness to take the stand when the trial opened before High Court Judge Datuk Mohamad Zabidin Mohd Diah inside a packed court Thursday.
The in-camera session lasted for 30 minutes, after which the trial judge, prosecution and defence, including Anwar, left at 11.43am to visit the condominium where the alleged offence took place.
Mohd Saiful, accompanied by his lawyer Zamri Idrus, also joined them.
The 63-year-old PKR adviser and Member of Parliament for Permatang Pauh is charged with sodomising Mohd Saiful at Unit 11-5-1 of the Desa Damansara Condominium in Jalan Setiakasih, Bukit Damansara, between 3.01pm and 4.30pm on June 26, 2008.
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 takes place 18 months after Anwar was charged in court in August 2008.
Anwar’s lead counsel Karpal Singh had asked for Mohd Saiful’s testimony to be heard in-camera when the latter, under the prosecution’s examination-in-chief, was describing what happened in the condominium that day.
Mohd Saiful, 24, told the court that Anwar had asked him for sex at the condominium after he went there to hand over documents to Anwar and discuss their work schedule.
In his testimony, he said he had worked for Anwar for four months, from early March 2008 to June 28 of the same year, and stopped being Anwar’s special aide because he did not want to be sodomised by Anwar any more. -- Bernama
Blow-by-blow account of today's proceedings:
4.30pm: Case adjourned to 9.30am tomorrow.
4pm: CCTV recording display marred by computer crashes, but accuser Mohd Saiful identifies himself entering the lift.
In continuing his testimony, Mohd Saiful says that two days after the alleged sodomy, he had gone to two private hospitals before going to the KL Hospital. He was advised to do so because, having claimed to have been raped, he was told that reports from private hospitals cannot be used in a court of law.
3.50pm: Prosecution starts playing CCTV video recording taken at the entrance of condo on June 26, 2008.
3.33pm: Trial resumes. Court decides not to cite Utusan Malaysia for contempt. Saiful resumes his testimony.
3.15pm: Court adjourns for 5mins while trial judge considers Karpal Singh’s application to cite Utusan Malaysia for contempt of court.
3pm: Karpal Singh brings Utusan Malaysia and says its articles today are tantamount to contempt of court. He says the coverage is mischievous and false with inaccurate and misleading facts. He cites as examples two headings.
The prosecution argues that inaccurate reports do not warrant action unless they were done maliciously.
2.54pm: The trial resumes.
2.42pm: Anwar Ibrahim’s lead counsel Karpal Singh arrives in court.
2.36pm: Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s daughter, Lembah Pantai MP Nurul Izzah Anwar, arrives in court with two of her sisters.

* Saiful Bukhari Azlan vs Anwar Ibrahim sodomy trial - Day 1
The second sodomy trial of Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim saw the same level of lurid details surfacing as they did in his first about 12 years ago as his accuser Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan took the stand as the first witness. Day 1 of the Sodomy II Trial begins with 'indecent proposal'.
Mohd Saiful, 24, who was Anwar’s personal aide at the time in question on June 26 2008. said he was invited to a Desa Damansara condominium here where he handed over some documents to the Opposition leader, who then said, “Can I f--- you?”
Mohd Saiful claimed he was angry and scared upon hearing the question from Anwar, who is also PKR adviser and Pematang Pauh MP.
“I rejected his request. I told him that I did not want to do it,” he said.
He said Anwar then responded in an angry tone, “What?”
“I repeated my words. I was not willing to do it. He was angry. At that time I was afraid,” Mohd Saiful said on Wednesday, the first day of the trial.
He said Anwar immediately directed him to go to the master bedroom.
“I went to the room. Shortly after, Anwar entered the room and went straight to the edge to close the curtain there,” the eldest of two siblings said.
Mohd Saiful, who did not complete his degree in electrical power engineering at Universiti Tenaga Nasional, said he just stood there while Anwar went on to switch off the lights.
Asked if the room was dark, he said there was still light from the washroom and in between the curtain.
“Anwar asked me to clean up in the washroom. I removed my clothes and cleaned my body but did not have a shower. I took a towel from the washroom and used it. I hung my clothes on the knob of the closet,” he said.
Anwar stood at the edge of the bed.
“He was clad in a towel and directed me to go to him and then hugged me while we were standing,” he said.
At that point, Anwar’s lead counsel Karpal Singh asked the court to allow the proceedings to be held in camera (closed proceedings).
Lead prosecutor Solicitor-General II Datuk Mohd Yusof Zainal Abiden however said it was up to the court to decide on the matter in the interest of justice.
High Court judge Justice Mohamad Zabidin Mohd Diah ordered the proceedings adjourned until 9.30am Thursday and to be held in camera.
In 1998, Anwar was convicted and jailed for 15 years on charges of abuse of power and sodomy. The sodomy verdict was overturned in 2004.
Tight security
At the outset of proceedings on Wednesday, the first prosecution witness testified that it all started with Anwar asking him to meet him at the Desa Damansara condominium on that day.
Questioned by DPP Mohd Yusof, Mohd Saiful said that Anwar asked him at his office in Section 16, Petaling Jaya on June 26 morning to meet up with him at the condominium that day.
He said the Opposition leader asked him to go to the condominium to discuss his meeting with a professor at the same condominium and also to discuss his working schedule.
He said Anwar asked him to be at the condominium at 2.15pm that day.
He said he had been to the condominium many times and had been informed by the PKR adviser that the condominium unit belonged to one “Hasanuddin.”
Upon reaching the condominium in a van at 2.45pm that day, Mohd Saiful said he was queried by a security guard at the guardhouse over his visit, but he just replied “Mokhtar.”
Asked on why he used “Mokhtar” as a password to enter the condominium, he said he was told to do so by a worker there before.
He said he parked the van at the visitors’ parking lot and took a lift to basement two.
He said he had to pass by a door to go to a block where there was a specific intercom where a person would answer to allow access to the condominium unit.
Upon saying the keyword “Mokhtar” he was allowed access that day.
“I went to the fifth floor and come across a man who smiled at me,” he said.
He said he went to the unlocked condominium unit and placed his shoes on the left side of the door.
“I saw Anwar sitting at a dining table,” he said.
He said he brought some documents, kept in a black file, which was given to him by a staff member to be delivered to the Permatang Pauh MP.
“I gave him the documents. We discussed the working schedule. Then Anwar asked me a question in English. ‘Can I f*** you today?’ “ Mohd Saiful, who was clad in blue coat, said after bowing his head and taking some time to reply to the question by the lead prosecutor.
On his working background, Mohd Saiful said he was invited by his friend Rahimi Osman in early March 2008 to work with the PKR leader.
He said he was needed as a volunteer to handle, among other duties, an election campaign and motivational talks.
He said Anwar appointed him his personal aide at the end of April that year, and his duties included arranging confidential meetings, filing documents and sorting his SMSes.
He said he was paid RM1,000 a month as official salary but received allowances during overseas trips, such as US$1,000 for Singapore.
After the day in question, Mohd Saiful said he later sent an email to Anwar using his Blackberry to express his desire to resign from the job, citing two reasons.
“I said that I was not disciplined enough and often came to work late and he (Anwar) always scolded me. The second reason was that I was given my own room at the PKR office, which caused me some distress as I was less qualified compared with other staff.
“I told him that as long as I was his personal aide, it would be an issue for him as I was less qualified.
“The real reason (I quit) was that I was not willing to be treated as per stated in the charge,” he added.
Earlier, the judge also allowed an application by Karpal to expunge a part in the first information report lodged by Mohd Saiful over the word “last time,” which would imply that the complainant was sodomised by Anwar many times.
In his ruling, Justice Mohamad Zabidin said he agreed with the submission by Karpal and co-counsel Datuk C.V. Prabakaran that the word would imply that there were many such incidents on the same day.
Karpal argued that the word would show evidence of bad character on the part of his client when the prosecution had only framed a sodomy charge against Anwar.
“You are the judge and jury of the trial. Any document which is prejudicial evidence that ought to be expunged, you should decide. We do not need case law but common sense. It is permissible under the law,” he said.
Prabakaran argued that the word was prejudicial to Anwar as it implicated there were previous similar offences or actions before.
DPP Mohd Yusof said the court should consider the fact that the allegation or report was for the police to investigate and the prosecution had only framed a charge against him.
’We will prove it’
Earlier, the prosecution, in its opening statement, said they would prove that the semen specimens taken from Mohd Saiful’s anus belonged to Anwar, as confirmed by the Chemistry Department.
The prosecution also said they would establish the sodomy charge against Anwar “beyond reasonable doubt,” through direct evidence from Mohd Saiful and forensic testimony from doctors and chemists.
Apart from these, they also said that circumstantial and documentary evidence would also be tendered.
Mohd Yusof, who read the opening statement, said Anwar was charged under Section 377B of the Penal Code for having carnal intercourse against the order of nature with Mohd Saiful on June 26, 2008, between 3.01pm and 4.30pm at the Desa Damansara Condominium.
Mohd Yusof said that on June 26, 2008, at about 10.30am, Anwar had in in his office, asked Mohd Saiful, who was then his special aide, to go to the Desa Damansara Condominium at 2.30pm the same day.
“At 1.45pm that day, Mohd Saiful had left his office for the condominium and arrived there at about 3pm.
“At the condominium, Mohd Saiful entered Unit 11-5-1 on the fifth floor. When he entered the unit, he saw the accused sitting at the dining table alone,” Mohd Yusof said.
He further said that it was at this unit that Mohd Saiful had been sodomised by the accused. The complainant left the condominium unit at about 4pm.
The statement further said Mohd Saiful had lodged a police report on June 28 over the sodomy incident that had occurred at the Desa Damansara Condominiumon June 26, 2008.
On the same day (June 28), Mohd Saiful had gone for a medical examination at the KL Hospital.
Mohd Yusof also told the court that Mohd Saiful’s tissue samples had been taken by the doctor who examined him for DNA testing.
Review application
Earlier in Putrajaya, both parties met Court of Appeal president Justice Alauddin Mohd Sheriff at his chambers to get an early date for the review application by Anwar over the Federal Court ruling which refuse him access to key documents.
The defence team comprised lead counsel Karpal, Sankara Nair, Datuk Param Cumaraswamy and Prabakaran.
The prosecution team comprised Mohd Yusof, deputy head of prosecution division (policy) DPP Datuk Nordin Hassan and DPP Wong Chiang Kiat.
They met for about 50 minutes.
Speaking to reporters at the court lobby later, Karpal said Justice Alauddin told them that he would get a date for the hearing of review application by the end of this week.
“I pressed for tomorrow (the hearing of review application) but Justice Alauddin said he will try his best to get the date by end of this week,” said Karpal.
Asked by reporters, he said the defence team was trying their “level best” to get documents for the preparation of Anwar’s defence.
“It is important to get the documents to plan our strategy,” he said.
Karpal added he would file a stay application by way of notice of motion at the Court of Appeal by tomorrow to stay the proceedings at the High Court.
The stay application is pending the disposal of an appeal by Anwar at the Court of Appeal on his failure to strike out his sodomy charge at the High Court.

Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan who accused Anwar Ibrahim of sodomizing him has a blog.
Imagine the title of his personal blog. It's called "Demi Allah, Agama, Bangsa dan Negara" (means For God, Religion and Nation).
It's the most irrelevant blog title I ever encountered. He's putting God, Religion and the Nation as his blog identity. He is either selfish or lack of ideas.
His blog, which I cannot ascertained whether is it genuinely his or not, only has 3 posts since June 2008 but he is getting like over 96,000 visitors in a couple of months.
Mmmm, maybe his blog is more popular than Anwar Ibrahim blog ? Any Anwar Ibrahim fans out there ?

Dr. Mohd. Asri Zainul Abidin, the Mufti of Perlis is asking both individual in the sodomy case between Anwar Ibrahim and his accuser, Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan to swear on the Quran. And get this, four witnesses are required.
First, if the sodomy is sinful in the eye of Islam and the incident did occurred, let Allah punished the guilty party in the afterlife. Swearing on the Quran now does not served any purpose and it's totally improper for a Mufti to suggest for both parties to go for a swearing contest. What is the use of Police and the country's law ?Secondly, requiring 4 witnesses is again totally idiotic. If the sodomy did happen in front of the 4 witnesses, I don't think that the 4 witnesses with sane mentality and conciseness will allow it to go on unless the 4 witnesses themselves are in the orgy.

Extract from: drmaza.com/?p=351
KANGAR 3 Julai - Mufti Perlis, Dr. Mohd. Asri Zainul Abidin meminta kedua-dua individu yang dikaitkan dalam kes liwat iaitu Penasihat Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR), Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim dan bekas pembantunya, Mohd. Saiful Bukhari Azlan supaya ‘bermubahalah’ atau bersumpah.
Menurut beliau, isu liwat itu kini sudah menjadi semakin rumit dan rakyat pula menjadi keliru.
“Semua orang tidak tahu siapa yang betul dan siapa yang bohong. Jadi bagi membantu menyelesaikan kekalutan isu liwat ini, saya syorkan kedua-dua mereka ini bermubahalah.
“Mubahalah di sini bermaksud sumpah laknat,” katanya ketika dihubungi di sini hari ini.
Menurut Mohd. Asri, Anwar dan Mohd. Saiful hendaklah bersumpah laknat iaitu dengan melafazkan sumpah: “Jika dia tidak melakukan kepada saya, laknat Allah kepada saya, jika saya melakukannya, laknat Allah kepada saya.”
“Mereka juga hendaklah bersumpah dengan menyebut Wallahi, Wabillahi, Watallahi. Saya tidak melakukannya,” katanya.
Tambah Mohd. Asri, isu liwat tersebut telah menyebabkan rakyat berbalah dan bertengkar sesama sendiri.
“Sekarang ini macam-macam cerita kita dengar daripada kes liwat ini. Ada konspirasi, niat jahatlah sampai rakyat pula yang bergaduh,” katanya.
Mohd. Saiful, 23, dalam laporan polis yang dibuatnya di Pondok Polis Hospital Kuala Lumpur pada 28 Jun lalu, mendakwa diliwat beberapa kali oleh Anwar dengan kali terakhir pada 26 Jun lalu di sebuah kondominium di Damansara, Kuala Lumpur.
Dalam pada itu, Mohd. Asri turut tidak bersetuju dengan saranan supaya kes liwat itu perlu dikemukakan empat orang saksi.
“Saya tidak setuju sebab mangsa mendakwa liwat berlaku ke atas dirinya sendiri, bukan orang lain,” katanya.
Mufti Perlis turut melahirkan rasa kecewa dengan cara berpolitik negara ini yang didakwanya gemar mengaibkan antara satu sama lain.
“Dalam Islam, peribadi seseorang tidak boleh didedah kepada orang lain. Tetapi dalam politik Malaysia sekarang, mereka berlumba-lumba mendedahkan aib orang,” katanya.

Internet can be good and bad. It's the most fastest and convenience way of getting a piece of information including traffic summonses !
Since Saiful Bukhari has become popular overnight, even his traffic summonses has been circulated in the Internet (including his MyKad number). And the summonses really indicate that he is one speed demon. Meaning, he kena saman for speeding lar.
Since we are on saman topic, you can check if you have outstanding summonses from the Polis Trafik at www.speed.com.my. First you have to register and for the fun of it, enter Saiful's information, i.e his MyKad number 850706015687 and his vehicle registration number WLG9170 and the system will dispatched you his summonses record (as shown above).
Thanks God for Internet, huh.
