Home Minister Hishammuddin Hussein said today that he would proceed with his defamation suit against Anwar Ibrahim in connection with the revelation of a sex video that implicated the Opposition leader.

NONE He said Anwar had missed the deadline given to him in a legal notice to provide replies to accusations he (Anwar) allegedly had made against him (Hishammuddin).

Hishammuddin ( right) , who is also Umno vice president, told this to reporters after attending a party function in Kluang today.

He added that Anwar made the accusations so as to divert attention away from himself following the revealing of the sex video.

The media had reported that Anwar had alleged that Hishammuddin was involved in the revealing of the sex video which shows a man resembling Anwar having sex with a woman believed to be a prostitute.
