Sordid Trial

In a country where the Home Ministry prides itself as custodian of Islam, when the Ministry banned the word Allah from being used by non-muslims, it is amazing we have a Government eager to prosecute Anwar Ibrahim and chose to call Saiful as first witness to give all this sordid details of Anwar's alleged advances on him.

And Saiful must be the most un-credible witness ever. It was reported in papers that he said no to Anwar when Anwar advanced himself on him, but yet, said when he was 'ordered' by Anwar to go change, he sheepishly changed to a white towel and when he came out of the bathroom, he saw Anwar clad in towel too.

Not bad for some one who does not want to be sodomised; but did not make any effort to run away or escape. And best still, has time to change to a nice white towel.

Only one irresistible conclusion - the trial is calculated to destroy Anwar's credibility.
