PKR president Anwar Ibrahim today reiterated his party’s stand on letting the police handle the alleged sex video investigation.

He said the party did not want to speculate on the scandal and would leave it to the authorities to resolve the case.

“As I’ve said earlier, let PDRM do its job. I don’t want to make any speculation but we will hear from PDRM, ” he said at an Aidilfitri open house organised by the Malaysia Indian Muslim Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Mimcoin) at the Petaling Jaya Civic Hall tonight.

Anwar was commenting on a report by Australian media today that there had been no digital alteration nor manipulation of photos in the pornographic video linked to a minister.

The report also said foreign experts who analysed the video could not confirm whether the individual in the video was the minister in question.

On claims that the sex video had caused divisions within PKR, Anwar said the party was still strong.

“The party is still united. I was in Sabah and Sarawak, all divisions attended. They came, they asked questions. Of course, people are concerned about what’s happening. That’s the way.

“My concern is not to cast aspersions against anybody. We should rely purely on facts and clear evidence because this is not the culture that we promote and support,” he said.

Earlier in his speech, Anwar said he hoped to work with Mimcoin in the future.

“I look forward to working with Mimcoin in the near future. This friendship, or ukhwah, will continue and be further strengthened and enhanced,” he said. – Bernama, June 17, 2019.
