Defence’s focus on medical reports, Saiful’s credibility
By S Rutra, Free Malaysia Today
KUALA LUMPUR: Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan’s credibility will come under scrutiny when Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim’s sodomy trial resumes tomorrow.
Among others, counsel Karpal Singh told FMT that Mohd Saiful must explain his allegation of not defecating for two days after being allegedly sodomised by Anwar.
“He really needs to answer his allegation that he did not pass motion for two days,” he said.
Karpal said Mohd Saiful will also be grilled on who were the people he came into contact with before lodging his police report.
Apart from this, the former aide to Anwar will also be questioned on the three medical reports, from Tawakal, Pusrawi and Hospital Kuala Lumpur.
“There will be no further delay in this trial, since everyone is eager to hear more from him (Mohd Saiful) who has made all kind allegations against Anwar,” Karpal said, adding that the focus will be on the witness’ credibility.
Karpal said the defence team might use the entire five-day trial period to zero in on Mohd Saiful because there are many issues to be covered.
