MUHAMMED Yusoff Rawther is ready to take a polygraph test to prove his claims of being subjected to sexually impropriety by PKR president Anwar Ibrahim, said his lawyer.

“My client confirmed with me yesterday, December 15, that in order to assist the police in carrying out a fair, thorough and just investigation on his report dated December 7, he is willing and ready to carry out a polygraph test at any time, date and venue to be decided by the police,” said Mohamed Haniff Khatri Abdulla in a statement today.

Haniff said Yusoff is aware that the admissibility of the test results rests with the courts.

“But he is still willing to cooperate with the police so that they can finish their investigations,” said Haniff.

He said that Yusoff is aware that similar to other forensic tests, there are no specific provisions of laws which provide for the conduct of polygraph tests in criminal investigations.

Yusoff, who accused Anwar of sexual misconduct, lodged a police report over the alleged incident that took place more than a year ago.

The former Yayasan Aman staff alleged in a statutory declaration that Anwar tried to force him to perform sexual acts at his home in Bukit Segambut on October 2 last year.

The statutory declaration was widely shared on social media and chat groups on December 4, the same time Yusoff held a press conference on the matter.

Anwar has denied the claims, and has been questioned by the police. – December 16, 2019.
