Mahathir Dares Anwar To Swear On The Quran, Just Like His Sodomy Accuser Saiful

SERDANG, Aug 16 (Bernama) -- Former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad today dared Pakatan Rakyat de facto leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim to swear on the quran to prove he was innocent of the sodomy charge he faces, just like his sodomy accuser Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan had done to demonstrate that Anwar had sodomised him. "Anwar should also be doing the same thing, instead of just giving ceramah (talks) everywhere, to prove his innocence," Dr Mahathir said when approached by reporters during his visit to the Malaysia Agriculture, Horticulture and Agrotourism (MAHA) Show 2008, here.
Referring to Mohd Saiful Bukhari's swearing on the quran at the Federal Territory mosque in Kuala Lumpur yesterday, Mahathir said it was the former Anwar aide's way of proving he was not lying when he alleged that Anwar had sodomised him on June 28.
He said that as a figure on the Malaysian political scene, Anwar should act in accordance with public sentiment which, he said, required that he gave a sworn statement pertaining to the sodomy allegation.
However, the action (of giving a sworn statement) was considered to be just a good political gesture because Anwar himself had to provide legitimate evidence to prove that he was not guilty in the matter.

tunku : will anwar accept challenge from saiful and others? i don't think so. may be he scared that he will be ''laknat'' right away.
