Don’t cry conspiracy, Perkasa boss tells Anwar
By Patrick Lee, Free Malaysia Today
KUALA LUMPUR: On his first day back in Parliament, independent Pasir Mas MP Ibrahim Ali told Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim not to cry conspiracy over Wikileaks.
“I don’t know if it is a trap or not… for me, what’s important is that when we do something wrong, and when people take the opportunity to trap us, we cannot accuse others of conspiracy,” the Perkasa president told reporters.
According to Internet whistleblower Wikileaks, a US department cable issued in November 2009 showed that Singapore officials believed that Anwar was guilty of his sodomy charge.
The revelation, which was contained in a message between the Singaporean intelligence and an Australian agency, said that Anwar “did indeed commit the acts for which he is currently indicted”.
Reacting to the message, Anwar had accused the Malaysian police and its Special Branch division of contributing to the leak.
However, Ibrahim, who spent the last two months recovering from a heart bypass surgery, said that he was not surprised with Anwar’s reaction.
He also advised the opposition leader to take action against Wikileaks.
