'Controlled viewing' pours doubt over sex video

your say 'The circumstances in which this video is released stinks of a conspiracy to frame and defame. Why didn't they not want to release it to the public?'

'Datuk T' reveal themselves, want RCI on sex tape

SusahKes: Sherlock Holmes was quoted as saying: "Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth."

So, let's collect the facts thus far:

1) The players are from Umno and led by Rahim Thamby Chik. Umno hates Anwar. It is therefore clear that they are attempting a "set-up";

2) Umno is known for money politics - their legacy is a hall of shame littered with deals and sweeteners. Therefore, it's easier to believe that Rahim and Co tried to buy Johari Abdul's loyalty than for Johari to do a frog dance;

(3) Why is Rahim behind this? If he wanted to do an expose, why didn't he get a private investigator? Wouldn't that have lend more credence? Has Rahim got so much time in his hands to go around snooping? Who knows what else Rahim could do?

Lim Chong Leong: The circumstances in which this video is released stinks of conspiracy to frame and defame. The characters who claim to be releasing it are all tainted, less than desirable, characters themselves.

I will have to see to believe but why do they not want to release it to the public? Why the hue and cry and high drama? Compared to this, Chua Soi Lek's expose was simple and therefore more credible.

MYOB: Was there a royal commission of inquiry for MCA chief Chua Soi lek? Why do you want to waste public money by asking for an RCI? The sex tape shows two consenting adults having sex. It could have been whoever. Did anyone one of them complain or lodge a report? This is like the pot calling the kettle black.

Iikie detector: The three ‘datuks' seem to be more powerful than PM Najib Abdul Razak and Home Minister Hishammuddin Hussein. They seem to be immune from arrest and even have the audacity to call for a royal commission of inquiry.

Lover Boy: In the event that the Royal Malaysian Police refuses to arrest this trio who openly admitted to this crime, then pornography is not a crime following Mohamed Nazri Abdul Aziz' and Hishammuddin Hussein's assessment.

Bar Council, take note - the law on pornography and the Penal Code and Cinematography Act are all superceded by the two ministers.

MKini Reader: RCIs are for matters of national interest, not for when some person is alleged to have had sex with a consenting adult. Anyway, looking at the trio who are three Umnoputras with unsavoury deeds and associations, we shall just laugh at them and this dumb gutter attempt to bring down an opponent.

Passing Cloud: Put aside the identities of the man and the woman engaging in this ‘explosive' sex in the video. Now, is there anything wrong with consensual sex between a man and a woman? None of them has filed any report with the police.

But isn't it a crime here in Malaysia for the so-called trio to secretly film and screen this torrid sex film and hold everyone to ransom, including Anwar and the police? What actions would be taken by the government if the sex film purportedly involves, say, Najib and his wife Rosmah Mansor or Hishammuddin, his wife or someone else?

The people need answers to these questions from Najib or Hisham. This brand of "politik sepak terajang" has already gone too far; this is sickening to the public.

Anonymous_3dhb: The call for a royal commission of inquiry is quite fair. He asked for the panel to consist the people the opposition always ask for.

I don't like Rahim Thamby Chik any more than most people, but an icon like Anwar who goes around making people believe he is an angel and wants to lead us, will need to win our trust.

Isa@1penyu: Go and check the authenticity of the tape. If Anwar has not done anything wrong, what is there to fear? It's the same as giving his DNA. Get the professionals to verify it. If Datuk T screwed up, then ensure that they go behind bars. If Anwar is guilty, just quit for Pakatan Rakyat's sake.

Black Mamba: The one committing crime here is the operator of the spa for harbouring illegal prostitution, the person who place the video recorder for invasion of privacy, the one who shown it to the public irrespective of for profit or not, and finally the one who kept the VCD for illegal possession of a pornographic material. This is what the law enforcers should be looking into.

Louis: Malaysia has two sets of law- one for the opposition and one for BN, especially Umno. If you or I were to screen pornography to the newsmen, we would definitely be arrested. But not the Umno guys. In fact, their action is sanctioned by the government and deemed legal.

Kimberley: Please, Rahim, why are you doing things to embarrass your own kind? You and your bunch of thieves are an embarrassment to the Malays and to all other Malaysians. Do not waste taxpayers' money calling for RCI.

Why don't you spend your time doing things which benefit the country instead of bringing shame to the country and its rakyat - like for instance, calling for RCI probe on corruption which is destroying the country?

Pemerhati: They say actions speak louder than words. This is a straight forward criminal case where a pornographic video was shown to a group of people. Under the country's laws the organisers and the viewers have committed an offence and should be immediately apprehended and prosecuted.

But instead of ensuring that the correct action is taken, the top Umno ministers (PM Najib, Hishammuddin, Nazri, etc) and the police have avoided this core issue and are talking about other things. Their actions clearly indicate that the top Umno people and their police lackeys are involved in this despicable conspiracy to slander and defame Anwar.

Umno has gone on crazy rampage against Anwar. Mahathir started off by cruelly jailing him for corruption (where not a single cent was taken by Anwar) and slandered him with trumped-up sodomy charges.

Now Najib is trying to jail him with Sodomy II and disgrace him by getting people like Rahim and his cohorts and Ummi Hafilda to tell more slanderous lies.

Anonymous_5fb: The doctor in the house is the one behind the whole thing. First Ummi, then his memoirs, the porn video and this RCI.

Mark my words. The intention is of course to shift people's attention to the fraud, corruption, inefficiency and malpractices that should be the main issues in the Sarawak and 13th GE. Don't ever fall into his trap.
