Home Minister Hishammuddin Hussein has claimed that Anwar Ibrahim had ill intentions in uttering malicious words at a press conference in connection with a sex video featuring someone resembling the opposition leader.

Hishammudin said the words which were later widely reported in the media and the Internet, were not published in good faith and that the main motive of Anwar was to injure his (Hishammuddin's) reputation as a minister and politician.
