 de facto
 
 leader Anwar Ibrahim today released the full 14-minute recording of the scandalous VK Lingam videotape, and disclosed that he has more evidence to back the claims of judicial impropriety.

 At packed press conference in his Petaling Jaya office this morning, Anwar said the additional evidence will only be revealed &ldquo;when the time is right&rdquo;.


 &ldquo;We have incriminating evidence on the entire conduct of those named in the tape - the role of (senior lawyer) VK Lingam, (business tycoon) Vincent Tan, (Tourism Minister) Tengku Adnan (Tengku Mansor), the money given to (former Attorney-General) Mohtar Abdullah and (former Chief Justice) Eusoff Chin.


 &ldquo;Other than what was said by
 
 <a href="http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/75452">
 Lingam&rsquo;s brother
 </a>
 
 (V Thirunama Karasu), we have other evidence to support that,&rdquo; he said without elaborating.


 The first

 eight minutes
 </a>
 
 of the video showing Lingam purportedly brokering the appointment of judges with then Chief Judge of Malaya and later Chief Justice Ahmad Fairuz Sheikh Abdul Halim was released on Sept 19.


 The remaining six-minute segment was released today, after Anwar promised that the full video would be released after a royal commission of inquiry is formed.

 On Wednesday, Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi
 
 <a href="http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/75952">
 announced
 </a>
 
 that former chief judge of Malaya Haidar Mohamed Noor (

 ) will head of the royal commission. It has been given until mid-march to complete its tasks.


 Reiterating his full cooperation to the commission, Anwar said the whistleblower will also assist the commission &ldquo;probably in the next few days&rdquo;.


 &ldquo;The whistleblower told me that when the royal commission is set up, they [
 
 sic
 
 ] will choose to cooperate with the royal commission and make their [
 
 sic
 
 ] identity known.


 &ldquo;They don&rsquo;t want to be harassed by the police or the ACA prior to their making it known to the commission. We have to let the whistleblower do what is right for them [
 
 sic
 
 ],&rdquo; he said.


 
 
 New names in segment

 In the newly-revealed segment of the video, a man - whom Anwar claims is a Chinese businessman - is visible and seen talking to Lingam.


 &ldquo;I must have met him some time ago when I was minister. I would say he is a known businessman, not necessarily very prominent,&rdquo; said Anwar, who was sacked from his government and Umno posts in 1998 after a fall-out with then premier Dr Mahathir Mohamad.


 "(In) my discussion with the whistleblower, our understanding is that we are not going to implicate anybody else, so it&rsquo;s up to them to come in. I think it is better for him to come out himself, whoever it is.&rdquo;


 Lingam has withheld comment but has pledged to cooperate with the royal commission, while Ahmad Fairuz denied involvement via a third party. Tengku Mansor has also previously denied involvement in the issues raised.


 Several new personalities were mentioned in the new segment. A rough transcript follows, as provided by

 [Voice off-camera]:
 
 
 Who is that Dato?


 
 
 Lingam:
 
 
 Chief Justice Malaya.


 
 
 [Voice off-camera]:
 
 
 Who is that?


 
 
 Lingam:
 
 
 Dato Ahmad Fairuz


 
 
 [Voice off-camera]:
 
 
 Oh Ahmad Fairuz.


 
 
 Lingam:
 
 
 I put him up there. Don&rsquo;t tell this, please. I cannot tell this to Manjit. And he is acting President Court of Appeal Number 2 post. He is next Chief Justice. He always says &ldquo;I leave it to you.&rdquo;


 
 
 [Voice off-camera]:
 
 
 I thought you were very close to Tun Eusoff Chin, Datuk?


 
 
 Lingam:
 
 
 He is Eusoff Chin&rsquo;s man, Eusoff Chin retired. But Dzaiddin hates Eusoff Chin, you understand? Ah..


 
 
 [Voice off-camera]:
 
 
 Because you know I&hellip; I&hellip; I... as far as I know you are very&hellip;


 
 
 Lingam:
 
 
 Eusoff Chin and I are extremely close. Because you know&hellip;Yeah. Eusoff Chin in power, I can straight and get in Pom! Pom! Pom! Pom! But now Dzaiddin is there. So Dzaiddin is attacking our cases. That means what? James Kumar is aligned to Dzaiddin. But Dzaiddin is retiring in 15th of September. He is finished.


 
 
 [Voice off-camera]:
 
 
 Next year?


 
 
 Lingam:
 
 
 So Dzaiddin really wants to go&hellip; Don&rsquo;t worry. Dzaiddin recommended Malek Ahmad to be Chief Judge of Malaya. But we went and &ldquo;cut&rdquo; &ldquo;cut&rdquo; cut&rdquo; cut&rdquo; I and Tengku Adnan and Vincent told PM. I stop him for now, because he is anti-PM. We put Fairuz in. And we put&hellip;I told you three months ago he became CJM [Chief Justice Malaya]. He said &ldquo;Don&rsquo;t believe.&rdquo; Then he got it. He rang up to thank me.


 And all that. He now acting PCA [President of Court of Appeal] because Wan Adnan is sick. Right? This. Apart from law knowledge you need kow tow. Please understand that. You need to know the emperor. Knowing the law doesn&rsquo;t give you the winning formula, you must also kow tow to the emperor. Correct or not? So now I am working very hard. So he agreed to meet Vincent Tan and PM and&hellip; what you call Tengku Adnan.


 
 
 [Voice off-camera]:
 
 
 Do you think Vincent has an interest over PM?


 
 
 Lingam:
 
 
 You don&rsquo;t know about the history. Businesswise may not be successful. Robert Kuok is very brilliant. Lim Goh Tong is very rich. Vincent Tan, you know what PM say? He went to Averton he went to Langkawi. He said bincang. I want you to build a hotel here. His wife pulled him away. [Inaudible] He said Dato Seri I will think about it. The wife pulled him away. There is another [inaudible] cannot get a bank loan. Vincent there. Vincent, can you build a hotel? Ready for next air-show?


 I want you do it in 6 months. `Datuk Seri, Don&rsquo;t worry, I will get it done.&rsquo; He paid double the price to get all of them. A big loss lah. Then Solomon Island and Fiji and all, he said, Vincent go and invest there, he went and bought&hellip;[inaudible] the government factory [inaudible] you do this project a bit and cover up your loss. PM will do what he want to do to cover your backside.


 
 
 [Voice off-camera]:
 
 
 Vincent is very close to him.


 
 
 Lingam:
 
 
 That&rsquo;s right. Don&rsquo;t ask&hellip; because Vincent has taken me to PM&rsquo;s residence&hellip; the house&hellip; [inaudible]&hellip; Anwar&rsquo;s case&hellip; the lawyers&hellip; Wee Cheong &hellip; [inaudible]. But I cannot go and talk to PM just like that and say promote this and that&hellip;


 Because ah, he knows&hellip; I am a&hellip; but when PM calls me on Anwar&rsquo;s case, I can tell him&hellip; he&rsquo;ll listen&hellip; But if I go promote so and so, that means I got interest. So, I don&rsquo;t do that. I use Vincent and Tengku, go and do that. I don&rsquo;t f*** them up. They go and do that. But I tell you this lah. Don&rsquo;t tell in front of people, of course. Life, one thing go confidential wrong is dangerous. Ah. Never, never say&hellip; You should&hellip; never. Even though to PM. You should never say. I don&rsquo;t know. I always say &ldquo;I don&rsquo;t know.&rdquo; That&rsquo;s all.


 
 
 [Voice off-camera]:
 
 
 Everybody&hellip; I think many people know.


 
 
 Lingam:
 
 
 Even the son case, everything I talk the father, &hellip;. Talk until he agreed. You know me [inaudible]. But I never talk about it. Even the son&rsquo;s case, I do everything. I talk to the father&hellip;Talk until he agreed. But if it is a big crisis that affects him, &hellip;.I can talk, he will listen. But if I want to favour somebody, that I cannot guarantee. Because my interest is not his interest. You know what I mean.


 Tomorrow invest your interest involving your father, I can come say this this this, you will listen. But tomorrow I appeal for me, you are not obliged to listen. Because you are a politician, PM. Politician is what is your interest, not what is my interest. But if I am giving advice on your interest, you will listen. On my interest, you will not. You must be careful about this.


 
 
 [Voice off-camera]:
 
 
 Datuk, I need to ask you this question.


 
 
 Lingam:
 
 
 Ask me. Ask me.


 
 
 [Voice off-camera]:
 
 
 For a while now&hellip;


 
 
 Lingam:
 
 
 Because we can talk behind these people.


 
 
 [Voice off-camera]:
 
 
 &hellip;Actually, I think, you know, Daim has more equity interest in Berjaya than Vincent Tan, isn&rsquo;t that true?


 
 
 Lingam:
 
 
 Let me tell you something &hellip; [inaudible] was bought by Daim &hellip; [inaudible]. Later on he did some deals where Daim supposed to help him. One or two he helped. Supposed to give him some money. Didn&rsquo;t give. Part was paid, part not paid. Later on Daim called up and he got paid.
