A REPORT on a sex video implicating a minister has been submitted to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong in an effort to push the government to take action against the men in the video.

The forensic report by UK-based Verden Forensics was handed to Istana Negara this morning by a group of almost 50 representatives from Secretariat Suara Rakyat (SSR) and Pertubuhan Bangkit.

The report was commissioned independently by SSR chairman and Umno supreme council member Lokman Noor Adam to ascertain the video’s authenticity.

Former Santubong PKR Youth chief Haziq Abdullah Abdul Aziz had admitted to appearing in the clip and alleged that Economic Affair Minister Mohamed Azmin Ali was his partner.

However, Azmin had repeatedly denied the allegations and said the video was a ploy to end his political career.

Speaking to reporters at Istana Negara today, activist Mohamad Ali Mohamad said he expected the Agong to play a role in upholding justice.

“As a country that practices constitutional monarchy and democracy, we believe that the people’s voice is paramount because we want to determine justice for all in our country, whether they are from lower, middle or upper class.

“Even if one is a minister, he cannot be excluded from the law. We don’t want that.”

He said he expected the prime minister and inspector-general of police to take action against Azmin, who is also PKR deputy president.

“We have submitted the findings to the prime minister many times. We hope he will take action. I hope (IGP) Abdul Hamid Bador also can act decisively.”

He said this would be their final plea to the police.

He added that if there is no action in the coming weeks, he will distribute the forensic report to voters in the Gombak constituency, of which Azmin is the MP.

“If there is no action within this one or two weeks, we have printed 100,000 copies of the report to give to voters in Gombak.

“Let them be the judge as they voted for Azmin. They should know who he really is.

“We are a Muslim country, we want good leaders. A leader who can truly carry out his responsibilities and set an example for all Malaysians.”

Pertubuhan Bangkit president Shahrin Azlan said they submitted the report to the Agong because they felt that the prime minister did not show an interest in the case.

He said a copy of the report was submitted yesterday to Bukit Aman.

“After five days of waiting, there is no action by the prime minister. We need to step it up, so we are here at Istana Negara.

“I believe yesterday the report was given to Bukit Aman and Bukit Aman responded that they have submitted to the attorney-general (A-G). The A-G has not opened the case yet. Enough is enough. Today we want the A-G to open the case in court.

“Again, I request for the prime minister to remove Azmin from the cabinet.”

In July, Hamid said Cybersecurity Malaysia found the video likely to be authentic but could not conclusively identify the men involved through facial recognition software.

Eleven people have been detained over the case including Haziq and Farhash Wafa Salvador Rizal Mubarak, who is PKR president Anwar Ibrahim’s political secretary and Perak PKR chief.

All of them were subsequently released on police bail. – September 4, 2019.
