Same Old Tune and Worn-Out Plots!

Once they can find the woman, isn’t it easier for them to confirm if indeed the man in the video is who they claim?
Don’t you think the timing is a bit iffy? The Sarawak State Assembly was dissolved this morning and instead of being in pre-election mood, many Malaysians are agog with a new bizarre development that has blazed across cyberspace. I am talking about the reports in:
a) The Star
b) The Malaysian Insider
c) Free Malaysia Today
Those reports tell of how Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim, who is facing a Sodomy II trial, is caught in another alleged sexual misconduct in the form of a sex video clip. The video appears to show the man who looks like Anwar engaging in a sexual act with a “Chinese” woman.
It all sounds as if it has been recycled from old, worn out plots…
Over HERE, Pakatan Rakyat leaders today questioned the authenticity of a video clip that its promoters claim show opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim having illicit sex.
Many of them believe that the screening of the video by a man calling himself “Datuk T” was to divert attention from major problems facing Barisan Nasional as it prepares for the Sarawak state election.
I read all the reports on this topic and the accompanying comments – most entertaining indeed but the fact remains that worn-out plots are being used.
We saw this in a few cases involving a few politicians on both sides of the divide – all of which created a mad scramble for those alleged videos both at pasar malams and even online websites!
I find it most puzzling to read in FMT that the people behind the exposé remained secretive, only saying that they would show the video to Anwar and his wife Wan Azizah Wan Ismail in a week’s time for them to ascertain the identity of the man in the clip.
A couple of questions are running through my mind.
1. Why a week? If indeed it is who they claim to be, there should be no doubt at all in the veracity of the video recording. Why then the seven-day interval?
2. While The Star reported that there were a total of four hidden cameras, I am baffled as to how they said Datuk T has such sharp vision to be able detect that the brand of the watch is Omega. Awesome. Does it mean super-sonic high-powered cameras were used? 🙂
3. Instead of focusing on finding the identity of the woman, they are barking up the wrong tree. Should they not find out her identity from the authorities concerned? Once they can find the woman, isn’t it easier for them to confirm if indeed the man in the video is who they claim?
