Anwar: Drop the case

PETALING JAYA: PKR adviser Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim claimed that the medical report leaked on Monday confirmed that the sodomy allegations against him were baseless and were politically-motivated.
He urged the police to stop their investigation and to send the medical report to the Attorney-General’s Chambers and classify the case under “no further action.”
The medical report from Hospital Pusrawi, signed by Dr Mohamed Osman Abdul Hamid at 2.14pm on June 28, was leaked on the Internet on Monday.
The report said that there was no medical indication that Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan, Anwar’s 23-year-old former aide, had been sodomised.
In the report, Dr Mohamed Osman had also recommended that Mohd Saiful go to a government hospital for further check-up.
Raja Petra Kamaruddin, editor of news portal Malaysia Today which first carried the report, also alleged that Dr Mohamed Osman had gone into hiding because the police wanted him to change his medical report to implicate Anwar.
The police have denied that allegation.
“We interviewed the doctor in the early stages of our investigations following the police report lodged by Mohd Saiful,” said Deputy Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Ismail Omar.
“But we did not arrest the doctor or detain him for three days as alleged by the Malaysia Today report. We don’t have any plans to do so either,” he said.

tunku : how about if the HKL reports says that saiful has been sodomized, will anwar say charge me please? till this moment we don't know yet whether the report from pusrawi circulated is not tempered with nor we got any explanation from pusrawi.

we have to wait for the explanation by Pusrawi regarding the leaked medical report.Also,there's another medical report done by HKL which we do not know the status.

personally,i dont really trust that Raja Petra guy.there are already many speculations grew out of the report.

to understand the handwriting alone in the report is quite difficult.what we read maybe wrong from the real meaning.

eh? the suspect can urge the police to drop the case aa? somemore give order on what to be submitted..

Siapa dia nak bagi arahan macam itu?

I'm not surprise at all if he has done the same before when he's still in power.

What if he has the power right now? Surely the case already drop. No wonder there's discussion accusing him of 'gila kuasa'. Acting like he's the head of the world. But, with the big backing by USA... what is there to be afraid of?

Why so urgent of dropping the case? Let the investigation continue.

Btw, anyone still remember the brutal murder and missing of small kids case earlier? what happen? case close?

Where all these people comes from? Everyday, there seem to be a new act emerging from nowhere. I just wonder who is next?

1. As usual and expected, RPK made another stunning revelation about the so call medical report from PUSRAWI with the far-reaching conclusion that the report suggest that there was no sodomy. I feel very upset when I saw the article that RPK wrote. Let me explain why.

2. First of all, it is not a medical report. It is a doctor Out Patient notes. Going by the letterhead, it could have been PUSRAWI record but I cannot be sure because in the cause of my work I have never had the opportunity of seeing any similar documents from PUSRAWI. On the document, it shows that it was signed and the rubber stamp shows the name of Dr Mohamed Osman Abdul Hamid. He is a medical officer and probably has done some PR examination in his lifetime. Obviously, it would not be as frequent as a gastroenterologist would.

3. I am going to share with you on what was written on that piece of paper and why I feel RPK has stretched his imagination a bit too far. On the paper, it was written that the patient complains of Tenesmus of one-week duration. The word Tenesmus means difficulty or straining when passing motion. Usually patients do not come to clinics and say they have Tenesmus. They will say that they have not been able or having difficulty in passing motion. I wonder why the doctor uses the word Tenesmus. Whatever it is, the note indicates that the problem has been around for one week. The duration is important.

4. Among others it is also written that the patient did not observe any blood whenever passing out stools. I am no expert in handwriting but if one were to see, there are marked differences in the style and quality of writing after the sentence “not noticed any PR bleed”. In my assessment the medical history is badly taken. It keeps repeating the same thing where it says about pain in the anus and not noticing blood in the stools. It was noted that the doctor wrote that the “patient was alleged assaulted by intruding a plastic item in anus” I could not make out what was written in the next line. The person who wrote this notes failed to document the date and time of the allege incident. This is important. In the medical world when doctor writes some thing happens one week ago may not necessary means that it actually happens 7 days ago. The date and time is important as it has an impact on the injury and potential wounds that has taken place.

5. On the following page of the medical notes some scribbles notes can be observed. Among others, that I can make out includes no pallor and no fever (opallor, o febrile). While it might be the style of writings of some doctors but most doctor put the null sign after the word and not before it (e.g. palloro) . This is the first time I saw a doctor writing putting the null sign before the word.

6. In the next paragraph, general examination shows that there was no pallor, he was comfortable and afebrile (no fever) . It was noted that a per rectal examination was done (P/R) and there was no active bleeding, no ulcer or pus seen, No injury seen, No tear seen.

RPK wrote that “The doctor’s report (which can be viewed below) says that there is zero (0) skin tearing, zero (0) active bleeding, zero (0) traces of pus, etc., which basically means he can’t be suffering from a pain in the anus as what he alleges.” With much regret, I am in the opinion that RPK has jump the gun and made a far-reaching conclusion. His conclusions were unfair. It did not take into account the factor of time that has taken place. It has also not look at the issue of the mechanism of injury. I will deal with this in the later paragraph.

9. The doctor made the diagnosis TRO Assault (Sodomise). The short form TRO is a common terminology that is use by doctors, which means “To Rule Out” . What it means here is that, the doctor is in the opinion that the diagnosis of sodomy need to be rule out and not as what RPK has interpreted that it has been rule out. ( RPK says: The doctor’s diagnosis is that he rules out or TRO (to rule out) assault (sodomised)). Again, RPK has jump the gun and made the wrong conclusion. RPK also mention that “In short: Mohd Saiful Bukhari Bin Azlan is not suffering any pain in the anus and neither was he assaulted or sodomised in the anus”. Well RPK, I feel you have put words, which the doctor did not say.

10. Under the heading of “Rawatan”, the person wrote “Advice to go to government hospital” and “(plan to do a police report)” RPK wrote “Saiful then said he would like to make a police report so Dr Mohamed Osman suggested he go for a second medical examination at a government hospital”. I think there is a twist here. The writings did not say that the doctor advice him to go to hospital because he wants to make a police report but merely stating that the patient has indicated that he wants to make a police report.

11. Under the circumstances, it is quite clear that what the good person (doctor) have done the right thing. He has advice the patient to go to the government hospital for a second opinion. This is a norm. I am sure he made that advice because, no private specialist or doctors wants to be involved with such a headache. This is a norm. Private hospitals tend to push death cases, potential medico legal cases to government hospital. They will not take it. The person action is justified.

12. RPK continues to narrate his writing in his usual fashion. I have a lot of respect for RPK and I know he has a large following. However, I think RPK should not have made such conclusion just to set the mind of the readers. In this case, especially when many readers would have jump to the conclusion on seeing the writings and the PUSRAWI medical notes. This is simply irresponsible. This would make people to lose their trust on you, RPK.

13. Please, allow me to interpret and explain what the person who wrote the notes has written. This is based on the 2-piece document that RPK published.

· This is a case of a male by the name of MSB with an IC No 850706015687. He went to see a doctor about one week after being alleged assaulted with a plastic object in his anus.

· There was no mention about the plastic object details like its length, width, thickness and hardness. If it was a small and soft plastic object and has been lubricated then, it is expected that a tear did not take place. If it is a big object like a proctoscope and adequately lubricated, there will be no tear. For a tear to take place, the object must have not been lubricated and probably of a decent size.

· The patient did not complain that he has seen any blood in the stools. This was confirms by the examination which shows that there was no tear or ulcer.

· The examination was very limited in value as it is only a PR and not a proctoscope. It is not even mention about the prostate size, the tension of the anal sphincter or colour of stools, which means that the doctor probably did not put his finger into the patient anus.

· In most likelihood, the doctor merely does an external anus examination, which will not show longitudinal mucosal anal tear if it was present. The fact that there was no complains of seeing blood means that there is no vascular tear. There was no infection and as such, there would be no pus.

14. In conclusion, I would like to say that RPK has misinterpreted the facts. He has also exaggerated the interpretation of the doctor writings. I think who ever has been advising him , has not given a fair opinion His writings have come to such a skewed conclusion and now his writings is being politicised. Overall, I think this medical note has not proved or disapprove anything.

the police no need to go through so much trouble to "implicate Anwar" lah, just get another one to write any report they want to can already. In any case, the "medical report" is hardly conclusive also. Read some alternative explanation first lah, don't simply jump the gun : http://stephendoss.blogspot.com/2008/07/is-rpk-spinning-out-of-control.html

of course Anwar will ask...no, force the investigation to be stopped. What else will he be doing to escape from this case? He'll use every opportunity to ran away this second time around.
Anwar, don't celebrate yet, the validity of the so-called medical report is yet to be proven.
We shall all wait and see.

The same people who say that we need a transparent judiciary is using one-yet-to-be-clarified "evidence" as a reason to stop investigation.

Seronok dia dengar pasal medical report tu. Dah tu orang yang dedahkan tu sendiri orang kuat dia, boleh harap ke maklumat2 semua tu? Kalau sebenarnya dia sendiri yang buat benda tu macam mana? Sabar dulu bang Nuar. Belum selesai lagi semua ni, takkan dengan permainan RPK yang macam tu je terus nak kasi lu lepas?

Not so fast Anwar. Let they finish investigate about this medical report. I've read an article at stephendoss.blogspot.com about the examination is not done thoroughly where its look like the doctor just performed only the visual exam. There should be more procedure that need to be done. Maybe you guys can go an check out the article.
