KUALA LUMPUR: Home Minister Hishammuddin Hussein today pledged to make public the truth regarding the sex video scandal allegedly involving Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim.
“I’ve asked the investigating authorities to be transparent and follow procedures,” he said at the launch of a Safe Town Monitoring System by the local government and housing ministry.
Hishammuddin promised nothing but professionalism from the police and asked the public to be patient while investigations are going on and refrain from spreading rumours.
“All that matters is the truth, which can only be achieved through proper procedures. The truth will prevail but it will take time,” he said.
Hishammuddin lashed out at critics who accused the Barisan Nasional (BN) of being behind the sex tape, challenging them to provide proof of their allegations .
“We’ve been accused of conspiring. Now we’re accused of putting the clip of the tape on YouTube. We just haven’t been accused of performing in it! If people say we’re behind it, ask them to come up
with proof.”
He said that certain quarters would never agree with what the ruling coalition does, regardless of BN’s achievements.
