Government Asked To Set Up Royal Commission On Anwar's Actions

KUALA LUMPUR, March 22 (Bernama) -- An independent member of parliament proposed in the Dewan Rakyat that a royal commission be set up to investigate the actions of Opposition Leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim who is alleged to have threatened public security, or have a White Paper on the matter.
Datuk Ibrahim Ali (Independent-Pasir Mas) said steps had to be taken by the government to correct the perception of the people about Anwar.
He said the people, especially village folk, were deceived when Anwar's sodomy case was plastered all over the country.
"So, it's enough if we compile the actions like that exposed by the Bayan Baru MP about the Sept 16 incident, the Agong's name, the Armed Forces chief's name, being dragged in and later the Apco story that caused disruption this morning and which was denied by the Rembau MP, and later the cassette that used religion elder Yusuf al-Qaradawi and letters and pamphlets signed by the Machang MP," Ibrahim said during the debate on the motion of thanks on the speech by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin,
He said no one was above the law and that Malaysia had a Special Court to try cases involving the Malay rulers.
"As such I call for a royal commission or a white paper to correct the perception that the opposition leader is very clean, great and that only he can save Malaysia and others are not fit to be the prime minister,
"Taking action (against him) is said to be cruel, not taking action and this happens. So its important as to how to correct the perception or views of the people on the disposition and actions of this opposition leader," he said.
Ibrahim also called on the government to investigate the distribution of pamphlets and letters together with a medical report that said Anwar was innocent and was being oppressed with the sodomy case that involved his former personal assistant, Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan.
Besides that, there were cassettes or compact discs that had a fatwa by Yusuf al-Qaradawi which was made in the Qatar residence of the prominent religious personality that wanted Saiful be refered under 'qazaf' according to Syariah law for failing to produce four witnesses in the sodomy charge against Anwar.
Ibrahim suggested that the government take steps to have Saiful meet Yusuf to enable him to get a true picture of the case.
He said Anwar's actions also saw the interference of 50 Australian MPs who called for the charges against Anwar to be dropped.
Ibrahim said he has sent a letter to Australian MP Micheal Danby who is the chairman of the sub-committee for foreign affairs to protest against the interference.

tunku : if this conspiracy is from BN, i am sure the first to shout will be lim kit siang demanding for a royal commission to be set up.we have witnesses in this conspiracy. these facts should be suffice enough to charge anwar under sedition act.even hj hadi admitted on anwar's plan but he said that the MPs named by zahrain are different from his list.that means the moron anwar lied to everyone and gave each of them different names just to fool them. i guess even azizah and the daughters got fooled by him. still remember these words from the moron "we have the numbers and it's increasing by the hours".what a shame and i feel pity for those who believes this moron.
