The latest screen shots of a sex video circulating among pro-Umno blogs is just “pre-election slander” said PKR de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim.

anwar allegations When asked today, Anwar said he “categorically denies” suggestions that he is the person in the stills.

“It is Umno’s disgusting pre-election slander,” he said when met by reporters as he was leaving a function in Bandar Utama, Selangor.

Stills purportedly from a video showing two men together in a room have been making its rounds of pro-Umno blogs since at least two days ago.

In the screen shots, the men were shown apparently engaging in intimacy, and in one shot one of the men appears to be undressed.

anwar allegations When asked whether he would take legal action over being linked to the video, Anwar said he has not made a decision yet and would need to refer this to his lawyer.

Earlier during the dialogue session with youths organised by the Anwar Ibrahim Club, he lamented that he has been repeatedly slandered, including a previous sex video purported to be between him and a female prostitute.

“Last time, (the character in the sex video had a) beer belly. Since when did I have a beer belly? Now? (He is) muscular,” he said.

'People smarter now'

However, Anwar said he will soldier on because society is too smart to believe in the slander and are attending his talks in huge crowds.

Businessman Shazryl Eskay Abdullah, former Perkasa treasurer Shuib Lazim and former Malacca chief minister Rahim Thamby Chik, collectively called the Datuk T trio, were slapped with a fine in June 2011 for screening a sex video in public, claiming it to involve Anwar.

Meanwhile copies of the video had been distributed around the country and even delivered into mailboxes , especially in Selangor that Umno is bent on winning back in the next general election.

In January 2012, the trio were reported hinting at another sex video linked to the opposition leader.
