ANWAR IBRAHIM’S VISIT TO WASHINGTON DC FOR KEYNOTE ADDRESS ON US MUSLIM WORLD BUSINESS COOPERATION HAMPERED BY MALAYSIAN COURTS
The unprecedented actions taken by the Malaysian courts to expedite the beginning of Anwar Ibrahim’s trial have forced him to abandon his plans to travel to Washington DC this month. He will deliver his already scheduled keynote address at the “Business Opportunities in the Muslim World” conference in Washington DC on June 26th at 12:00 PM EST via live video teleconference from Kuala Lumpur.
The non-cooperation of the Public Prosecutor’s Office, which has impeded the preparation of the best defense that Mr. Ibrahim is lawfully entitled to, and the insistence of the Malaysian courts to begin his trial in early July despite the repeated requests by his lawyers for access to basic discovery items, requires Mr. Ibrahim be present in the Kuala Lumpur High Court to attend to his various applications including to quash the charges leveled against him. This reprehensible conduct by the Prosecutors has been affirmed by Anwar’s lawyer S N Nair in his statement issued by his office on 10th June 2009 which amongst others, has affirmed that Anwar will not get a fair trial in the Malaysian courts.
The actions of the Courts to expedite the hearing of Mr. Ibrahim’s various preliminary motions, including the pending appeal to the Court of Appeal, appear unprecedented. These applications, including a request for documents in possession of the Public prosecutor that are favorable to Mr. Ibrahim as well as an application to quash the charges altogether, under normal circumstances will take some time for the Courts to consider.
We reiterate that the Court’s insistence on preferring a charge of sodomy that contravenes medical records indicates malicious intent, that the charges are politically motivated and that this trial would be a travesty of justice akin to what Anwar Ibrahim faced in 1998-1999.

Bulan Julai adalah bulan ujian bagi PR.
1.Kes perbicaraan DSAI bermula 01 Julai
2.Rayuan kes YB Nizar sebagai MB yang sah di Perak pada 09 hingga 10/07/2009.
Saya menyeru kepada semua penyokong PR yang islam selalu menunaikan sembahyang hajat memohon supaya kebenaran dan kemenangan berpihak kepada PR. Hanya kepada Allah S.W.T kita berserah, kerana keputusan manusia tidak mampu untuk melawan ketentuanNYA. Kepada rakyat Perak yang ikhlas dengan perjuagan PR dapat kiranya kita berpuasa Nazar tiga hari jika YB Nizar menang kes rayuan tersebut dan seterusnya membubarkan DUN Perak.
INSYALLAH Takbir 3 kali.

Tok Sagor. Maaf ya bukan hendak menidakkan usaha murni Tok. Berdasarkan pada senario 1998/99 dulu banyak acara Sembahyang Hajat termasuk dari Tok Guru YAB Datuk Nik Aziz sendiri lakukan tetapi kita sedia maklum DSAI tetap menerima hukuman 6 tahun penjara.
Kesimpulannya selain dari berserah kepada Allah, kita juga percaya bahawa Allah tidak akan mengubah nasib sesuatu kaum melainkan kaum itu sendiri berusaha mengubahnya. Wallahuallam.
