I am not for sale, tweets Saiful
The tweet message comes in the wake of claims from Datuk T that there were attempts to buy them over to retract allegations that Anwar was the man in a sex video released two years ago.

Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim’s ex-aide Saiful Bukhari Azlan has claimed that he cannot be bought over, reported Utusan Malaysia.
Anwar was charged in in 2010 for allegedly sodomising Saiful and was acquitted last year. The prosecution team had appealed against the acquital.
In a Twitter message to Anwar, Saiful wrote: “I’m not for sale. Even if you are the prime minister, I will not bow to you. The truth will prevail, the false will fall. That is Allah’s promise.”
Last Thursday, Risda chairman Rahim Thamby Chik claimed that businessman Shazyl Eskay Abdullah was offered a blank cheque to retract allegations that Anwar is the individual in a sex video.
Rahim, Shazryl and Shuib Lazim, known as the Datuk T trio revealed the video in 2011.
Saiful also claimed that Anwar was using his father, Azlan Mohd Lazim, to counter the alleged sodomy.
“Anwar’s move to use my father is wrong and would backfire. May Allah continue to give me the strength and patience,” he said.
On March 8, Azlan claimed that Anwar did not sodomise Saiful and the sodomy episode was a political conspiracy. Saiful through his lawyers refuted Azlan’s claims.
Three days later, Azlan joined PKR.
