Anwar: BN using judiciary to nail me
PKR de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim wants to know since when did the courts pass judgment on cases for the entire week
(FMT) – PKR supremo Anwar Ibrahim accused the federal government of attempting to end his political career by using the judiciary.
Speaking at the launch of the PAS election machinery in Taman Sri Jenaris last night, Anwar said that the courts have ruled that the judgment for his sodomy trial would be finalised this week.
“My lawyer, Karpal Singh informed me that the courts have ruled that the judgment for my cases will be concluded this week.
“Since when do the courts pass judgments on cases for the entire week? They are all ‘pandikutty‘ (piglets)”, said Anwar, who is also PKR’s candidate for the Kajang by-election.
He was referring to his sodomy trial, which will be heard tomorrow by the Court of Appeal.
In January last year, the Kuala Lumpur High Court acquitted Anwar on charge of sodomising his former aide, Saiful Bukhari Azlan.
The matter was taken up to the Court of Appeal, with Anwar failing three times to disqualify Umno linked lawyer, Muhammad Shafee Abdullah from taking charge as lead prosecutor to the case.
Anwar, who is also the Opposition Leader, also accused the Election Commission (EC) of attempting to make things difficult for him to contest in the Kajang by-election.
“March 11 is the nomination day. It is also the day I have to address the Parliament as the opposition leader.
“It is also the day the court will deliver its judgment on Karpal Singh,” he said.
