Sex video clip genuine, says IGP

The special team investigating the case was in the closing stages of the probe.

KUALA LUMPUR: Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Ismail Omar said today the sex video clip allegedly involving an opposition politician is genuine.

This is based on the report of experts who had used the clip to investigate the case, he told reporters.

Ismail said the special team investigating the case was in the closing stages of the probe and that the investigation papers would be handed over to the attorney-general soon.


The sex video clip, said to be of an opposition politician and a woman suspected to be a prostitute, was shown privately to selected journalists recently.

Police set up a team to investigate the case after Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim, who denied that he was the man in the video clip, had lodged a police report. -  Bernama

The hidden camera video of the sex act was screened at Carcosa Seri Negara, Kuala Lumpur, on March 21, to a select guest list that included senior newspaper editors, and later shown to selected politicians.

The perpetrators of the screening of the pornographic video, a trio called Datuk T, later revealed themselves to be former Malacca chief minister Abdul Rahim Tamby Chik, Perkasa treasurer-general Shuaib Lazim and a businessman Shazryl Eskay Abdullah, who is currently embroiled in a court case related to the Johor-Singapore 'crooked bridge'.

Police action on the Datuk T members remains elusive.

PKR's communications director Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad, meanwhile, has told Malaysiakini in response to Ismail's statement, "We acknowledge that it is not CGI (computer-generated imagery) but the question now is (who is the) actor in the video?"
