A police report has been lodged against PKR de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim for allegedly sodomosing one of his aides - the second time that such an accusation had been made in over 10 years.The report was lodged by the 23-year-old victim at the Jalan Travers police station at 6pm.
KL police chief DCP Muhammad Sabtu Osman has confirmed that the report had been made.
It is learnt that Anwar met with a number of party leaders at an emergency meeting late tonight.
At 11.15pm, PKR sent out an SMS message stating that the police had detained Anwar's special aide Saiful Bahari this afternoon and forced him to lodge a police report about being sodomised by his boss.
It added that the police are expected to arrest Anwar soon.
Meanwhile, Anwar is expected to comment on this latest crisis at a pre-arranged press conference tomorrow.
The press conference is scheduled to be held after a meeting between Anwar and all PKR members of parliament and state assembly persons.
Accused of sodomy in 1997
Anwar, a former deputy prime minister and finance minister of Malaysia, was sacked from the government in 1997 for allegedly being involved in sodomy and abuse of power.
In 1999, he was sentenced in a highly controversial trial to six years in prison for corruption, and in 2000, to another nine years for alleged homosexual acts.
However in 2004, the Federal Court - the country's highest court - reversed the second conviction and he was released.
Anwar has always maintained that the charges were a government hatched political conspiracy against him, a move denied by the government.
tunku : ahaa.there you go. now anwar will say another conspiracy against him.. well a devil will never be a saint.i have nothing more to say.

Actually this is another insult to our intelligent. Let move forward from distruction of our own race. We should have other better things to do.Our political stability and economic situation is too much already. Now added with this nonsense...only God knows. So help us God.
Who knows, this could well be a conspiracy to garner support for more street demos, to start another round of "reformasi" and the so called people's power..... "Arrest me, charge me...and I'll be the hero". I dare say that it's not the doings of the BN, they are too busy grappling with their own problems. Perhaps it's the 'inside job' or may even be the work of some other groups looking for an opportunity to erode the people's confidence in the ruling government.
First tim e around maybe but second time? The boy is quite good looking, wll to involve a high profile person is very risky. This guy sure got the guts. Last time they said TDM fabricated, now I wonder who is the next scape goat?Come out DSAI defend yourself and dont let others do it if you are not quilty.How long can you hide in the Turkish embassy.What is to become of our country? The public has had enough of drama of late now this.If its true there will be a new saga again the trial and street demo blaming game again which Malaysians are tired of.We want to move forward. So Like Tok Kemuning said so help us god.
