Set up RCI on Altantuya first, says Anwar
Opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim today brushed aside calls for a royal commission of inquiry on his alleged sex tape, implying that it is just a waste of time.
Opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim today brushed aside calls for a royal commission of inquiry on his alleged sex tape, implying that it is just a waste of time.
“If they want to call, call lah . But before they do, first have an RCI on Altantuya, Port Dickson, Teoh Beng Hock and the Customs case,” he said in a brief interview before rushing off for a meeting in Shah Alam.
Anwar was referring to several different cases including the gruesome murder of Mongolian model Altantuya Shaariibuu, which has raised countless questions on her alleged links with Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak and his wife Rosmah Mansor.
It is unclear what he meant when referring to Port Dickson, though it could be in reference to an alleged khalwat case in the 1990s involving an Umno leader who now holds a senior ministry.
The Customs case meanwhile refers to the death of Selangor Customs assistant director Ahmad Sarbani Mohamed while in the custody of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission yesterday.
Sarbani’s death is the second in as many years involving the MACC, the first being political aide Teoh Beng Hock who fell to his death from the 14th floor of the commission’s Selangor office in Shah Alam in 2009.
Anwar, however, managed to sneak in a bit more on the murder of Mongolian model Altantuya, saying that her case should be the priority.
"An RCI on Altantuya will establish the missing link," he said in a reference to the apparently shoddy investigations carried out on her murder.
