Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim and the defence team are expected to visit the condominium unit in Damansara for the second time before the start of tomorrow's trial.

The apartment, Unit 11-5-2 of the Desa Dammansara condominium, is next to Unit 11-5-1, where former aide Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan alleged he was sodomised by Anwar.

azlan Unit 11-5-2 and Unit 11-5-1 are both owned by one Hasanuddin, who is said to be a close friend of Anwar. Unit 11-5-2 is where Hasanuddin stays, but he is currently out of town with his family.

"We had told the police and the prosecution that we wanted to visit 11-5-2 but they provided keys to unit 11-5-1 instead," said Anwar’s lawyer Sankara Nair yesterday.

"Hence, we could not visit the (unit) we wanted. This is important to establish our alibi ."

Lead defence counsel Karpal Singh had earlier said he will confront Saiful with Anwar's alibi that he was in fact meeting with several people at another apartment unit in the building.

After a brief cross-examination of Saiful on Monday, the top lawyer asked the judge for permission for the defence and the prosecution to visit the building.
