POLICE are trying to determine Anwar Ibrahim’s whereabouts on the day he allegedly sexually assaulted his aide, Muhammed Yusoff Rawther, Inspector-General of Police Abdul Hamid Bador said.

The top cop said Anwar’s whereabouts on the day of the alleged incident was yet to be established.

“One says (location) A, another says (location) B. So the police need to find the where and when (of Anwar) and get the right information,” he said, after attending a handing over of duties ceremony at Bukit Aman headquarters today.

Anwar’s former aide Yusoff alleges that he was sexually assaulted on October 2 last year at Anwar’s house in Bukit Segambut.

He filed a statutory declaration in November and subsequently lodged a police report on December 7.

The PKR president has denied the allegation, saying that he was campaigning in the Port Dickson by-election on that day, but admitted he was in Kuala Lumpur during the day to attend a Mahatma Gandhi memorial event.

Police recorded Anwar’s statement on December 12, after which the investigators visited his house in Bukit Segambut, where the alleged sexual assault took place.

As for the the accuser’s polygraph test results, Hamid said the tool was to help the investigators ascertain if the person was telling the truth. 

“If he is telling the truth we will double our efforts, try to find the angle and see where we need to work more to find the evidence needed. 

“For now I don’t know the results of his polygraph.”

Last week, Yusoff spent about four hours in Bukit Aman sitting for a polygraph test on his claims.

Yusoff, accompanied by his lawyer Mohamed Haniff Khatri Abdulla, arrived at Bukit Aman about 3pm and left about 8.40pm. – December 23, 2019.

  • Only PDRM has the time and energy for this wild goose chase after so many months. This is worse than the mattress carrying incidents and the sperm remaining active for many days.

  • This is obviously a power struggle between those who dont want change, and those who want a United Malaysia, Anwar Ibrahim together with millions of Malays, Chinese & Indians ( with the indigenous communities of Sabah and Sarawak) want the latter.

    Malays feel that because DR M promotes Islam ( Zakir Naik is portrayed as an islamic preacher and his sermons are good for Muslims , calls for bringing in the arabic script into Bahasa Malaysia when the Constitution does not recognize it impacting Non-Muslims and all these unnecessary Islamic conferences -domestically and internationally), and they need to support his ideological beliefs.

    Furthest from the truth, this policy of hatred against Malaysians ( not of Malay descent ), persecution of Non-Malays,discrimination and statements that they are 2nd class citizens are clearly calculated not because of some spiritual calling but to politically unite Muslims against Non-Muslims. Why would you want to do that?

    This is not what Malaysians wanted when they elected the PH government. PH is losing but BERSATU is winning. BERSATU is the new UMNO, and soon the same thing is going to happen-UMNO will reappear with another name and Malay supremacy will be touted and Malaysia will soon be another Islamic state-Malays must look at all the Muslim countries-do we want to be like that, or a progressive nation with Muslims, Christians, Hindus, Buddhists respecting each other and taking care of so many issues that Malaysia needs to address.

    Malaysians who want reformation through PH are losing the battle. DR M must go.
