Anwar to give statement on Monday

KUALA LUMPUR:

PKR de facto leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim who is alleged to have sodomised his former aide has agreed to give his statement to the police on Monday.

CID director Commissioner Datuk Mohd Bakri Zinin said police had advised Anwar through his lawyers to assist police in their investigations.

“His lawyer Sankaran Nair told us that Anwar has agreed to meet us on Monday at 2pm at the city police headquarters.

“All the talk and SMSes spreading around claiming that we have arrested Anwar and his daughter Nurul Izzah are all lies.

“The SMSes are propagated by irresponsible people who want to create trouble and chaos,” he said.

Comm Bakri said police had to follow procedures when carrying out their investigations.

He said investigations into Anwar started following a report lodged by Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan alleging the PKR de facto leader had sodomised him.

He said police were merely adhering to the due process of law in order for them to complete their investigations.

“We are still investigating the case and have to record statements from several other people.

“We have not forwarded our investigation papers to the Attorney-General contrary to news reports that we have done so,” he said, urging the media to stop speculating on such matters.
