The Alleged Anwar  Sex Tape2 is the latest attempt to smear and character-assassinate  Anwar.<\/p>\n<p>Zain has asked the Police to widen its investigations into the  Carcosa sex video to ascertain whether there are any possible links  between the two Alleged Anwar Sex Tapes separated by 12 years, viz:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<p>Is Sex Video I also authentic now that Sex Video II has been officially declared authentic?<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Are the contents of Sex Video I the same in full or in part with Sex Video II?<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Is the identity of the man in Sex Video II that police  have declared can be determined positively the same as the man in Sex  Video I?<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Does the voice of the man in Sex Video I belong to the man who is said to be identifiable in Sex Video II?<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Does the voice of the woman in Sex Video I belong to the woman who is said to have been identified in Sex Video II?<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Is the recording location of Sex Video I the same as Sex Video II?<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Are the trio involved or played any role in the production  or distribution of Sex Video I in 1999, seeing as they have been  identified as having a relationship with Anwar? More so Rahim (former  Malacca Chief Minister Tan Sri Rahim Tamby Chik) who is believed to have  cause for revenge as Anwar had accused the former Umno Youth chief of  corruption just three months before Sex Video I was made public on  November 24 and 25, 1999.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>During the 1999 general election campaign at that time, Keadilan  Deputy President Dr. Chandra Muzaffar condemned the Alleged Anwar Sex  Tape1 in no uncertain terms, dismissing it as \u201cyet another vicious,  malicious endeavour\u201d by Anwar\u2019s  \u201cpolitical and corporate foes to  discredit and denigrate him\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Now, has the Alleged Sex Tape1 dismissed by the police as a smear  on Anwar re-appeared in part or in whole as the Carcosa sex video 12  years later?<\/p>\n<p>I must remind the Inspector-General of Police, Tan Sri Ismail Omar  that the Carcosa sex tape or Alleged Anwar Sex Tape2 has put  the  independence, credibility, professionalism and reputation of the  Malaysian Royal Police Force on the line  &#8211; and the police are in danger  of suffering a knock-out blow in  public confidence which only a change  of government can restore.<\/p>\n<p>The police suffered the worst blow of public confidence in its  history in 1998  when it allowed political and extraneous considerations  to compromise and undermine police professionalism and integrity in the  Anwar \u201cblack eye\u201d episode and investigations.<\/p>\n<p>Mat Zain was then the investigation officer for the Anwar \u201cblack  eye\u201d episode and there would have been no need for any royal commission  of inquiry to find out that it was the then Inspector-General of Police  Tan Sri Rahim Noor who had assaulted Anwar  if Mat Zain had been allowed  to complete his investigations without obstruction from higher  authorities, including the Attorney-General\u2019s Chambers with the present  Attorney-General Tan Sri Gani Patail playing a prominent role in the  subversion of justice and the rule of law 12 years ago.<\/p>\n<p>The police has not yet fully recovered from the 1998 blow to public  confidence in police independence, credibility, professionalism and  reputation from the Anwar \u201cblack eye\u201d episode.<\/p>\n<p>Now, if the police again allows political and extraneous forces and  factors to dictate its investigations into the Alleged Anwar Sex Tap;e2  episode, it will be a knockout blow to public confidence in police  independence, credibility, professionalism and reputation which only a  change of government can repair and restore.<\/p>\n<p>For the past month, right-thinking Malaysians have been asking two  questions:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<p>Why police have not yet arrested the trio of \u201cDatuk T\u201d, namely  Rahim, Datuk Shazryl Eskay Abdullah and Datuk Shuib Lazim for various  crimes including Section 292 of the Penal Code for \u201cpublicly exhibiting  any obscene or pornographic material\u201d liable to a jail term of three  years or Section 5(1) of the Film Censorship Act 2002 where a person is  liable to be fined up to RM50,000 or jailed up to five years or both. Do  the trio enjoy immunity and impunity for breaches of the law and  actions which have brought world-wide shame to the nation?<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>How Malaysian public and international opinion are to be  convinced that the police and the top Umno and Cabinet leaders including  the Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Razak and the Home Minister, Datuk  Seri Hishammuddin Hussein were not privy to the Sri Carcosa sex tape  caper and to the identities of the trio in \u201cDato T\u201d whether before or  immediately after the screening of the sex video.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The despicable and dastardly political ploy to destroy both Anwar  Ibrahim and Pakatan Rakyat\u2019s chances in the Sarawak general elections  have failed, and Najib and BN leaders must be warned that the continued  resort to such gutter politics may prove to be the last straw to break  the back of public confidence in the credibility and legitimacy of the  Najib premiership and to convince the majority of the people that the  time has come to end the mandate of Barisan Nasional and Umno to  continue to govern Malaysia.<\/p>\n<p>The police are on trial. The Prime Minister is also on trial.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Times New Roman;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.limkitsiang.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Lim Kit Siang<\/a>, DAP Parliamentary Leader &amp; MP for Ipoh Timor<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is exactly one month ago that Malaysians were sprung with the alleged Anwar Ibrahim sex tape made public by a cloak-and-dagger screening at the Carcosa Sri Negara on March 21 to select media representatives.
