Saiful Bukhari Azlan, who claimed that he was sodomised by PKR de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim, is set to wed TV3 newsreader Nik Suryani Megat Deraman on May 25.

When contacted, Nik Suryani confirmed this, but declined to comment on the matter.

A TV3 source told Malaysiakini that the couple became acquainted after the Sodomy II trial ended.

"Their relationship started when Saiful approached her at a restaurant," said the source.

The wedding ceremony will be held at Nik Suryani's hometown in Kuala Terengganu.

Previously, Saiful Bukhari was engaged to another journalist, but the engagement had been called off prior to the trial.

Following this, there were claims that Saiful Bukhari and a deputy public prosecutor (DPP) involved in Sodomy II were romantically linked .
