The PAS leader slams the sex-video scandal at a fund raising dinner and tells the crowd that the nation's laws are changed to suit the powers-that-be.


SEREMBAN: PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang slammed the sex-video scandal implicating Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim at a fund raising dinner yesterday.

The Islamic party leader said that Malaysia had “spider web” laws that could be altered to suit the needs of the government.

Commenting on the screening of the video to journalists by the “Datuk T” trio, Hadi called it a drama.

“Who was the cameraman, who was the producer? There is no law here,” he said to the crowd which responded with cries of “Allahu Akbar.”

The PAS leader also took a swipe at former PKR man S Nallakarupan over the latter’s wish to meet Hadi to reveal things about Anwar.

“Who is he? He is not a leader? Which party is he representing?” asked Hadi.

Meanwhile, PKR’s Teluk Kemang MP Kamarul Baharin Abbas told the crowd that former Malacca chief minister Rahim Thamby Chik, one of the three who exposed the video, had not turned up to screen the video for several PKR MPs as promised.

“We were told that Rahim was willing to let five of us watch the video. We informed Anwar that we were going to watch it, and he told us to go ahead.

“So we submitted the names of the MPs who wanted to watch. I think Rahim did not have the guts to face us,” he said.

According to Kamarul, the five MPs were supposed to meet Rahim at the Flamingo Hotel in Kuala Lumpur at 4pm.

“We were there at 3.30pm. We were told that Rahim was caught in the traffic jam, but the Risda headquarters (Rahim is the Risda chairman) is only walking distance away from the hotel.

“We waited until 5.30pm, Rahim didn’t show up, so we left the place,” he said.

Also present at the dinner were PAS secretary-general Mustafa Ali, Negeri Sembilan PAS commissioner Zulkefly Mohamed Omar, DAP’s Rasah MP Loke Siew Fook and PKR Port Dickson state assemblyman M Ravi.
