There has been mixed reaction from the Malaysian public to the shocking testimony by Mohd Saiful Bukhari, who has accused opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim of sodomising him.
On Wednesday, the 25-year-old former aide to Anwar told a packed courtroom how his former boss made sexual advances towards him.
He shocked the nation with his blow by blow account of what transpired in the condominium, where he was allegedly sodomised by Anwar.
The former university drop-out said he rejected Anwar’s advances at first, but then decided to go along after he was reprimanded.
Malaysians find his story hard to believe, especially since Anwar’s first sodomy conviction was quashed by the country’s highest court six years ago.
“All these are politics, I don’t believe anything,” said one Malaysian.
“I hope the courts give him a fair trial,” said another.
Others don’t care anymore, as they are hearing the same story repeat itself 10 years on.
Most of the proceedings on Thursday morning was held behind closed doors.
The highlight was a visit to the scene where the alleged act of sodomy was committed.
It was led by high court judge, Mohd Zabidin Mohd Diah. The entire prosecution and defence teams went along, including Anwar and Saiful.
The entire entourage spent almost an hour in the apartment that’s said to belong to one of Anwar’s close friend.
Saiful apparently demonstrated in front of the judge and all the lawyers how he was allegedly sodomised in one of the bedrooms on the fifth floor of the upmarket apartment.
The afternoon session resumed in open court with Saiful taking the stand again, detailing when and how he was medically examined before filing his police report.
The trial will resume on Friday and all eyes will once again be on Saiful next week, when he is cross-examined by Anwar’s panel of 13 senior lawyers.
Next week when the “actual grilling” starts with Anwar,s panel of lawyers, we will see a very “flip-flop”, a very common term used to describe the actions and words of the “powers-that-be” in Putrajaya, Shaiful in action!
To make a long story short, his (Shaiful’s) life and that too in it’s prime, has been killed with this blockbuster from Malaysia called SODOMY 2 which has beaten AVATAR in terms of sensation and what not! Perhaps the ex-PM, the great Tun Dr Mahathir Mohammed has some thing to say on this since he has accused the Americans blatanly after viewing the movie AVATAR! And least we forget (which I believe the Tun believes the Rakyat would have forgotten), it was the GREAT Tun who started SODOMY 1!!!!
In all humility, and that too not to insult the intelligence of the general Malays, WHY DO YOU THINK THAT AFTER 50 ODD YEARS AFTER INDEPENDENCE, Malaysia, as compared to Singapore, is still backwards?! Are you going to blame the Chinese and the Indians for the state of affairs you are in today?!
Some serious soul searching needs to be done to correct the wrongs that have been perpetuated in the last 50 years by UMNO/BN as otherwise Malaysia will, and is already on it’s way, to the doldrums of history!

Mereka boleh sembunyi apa jugak ! Tapi, mampukah mereka sembunyikan sesuatu daripada pengetahuan Tuhan ? The answer is NO ! Tapi, apa tujuan sampai susah payah benar nak ditutup berita hal perbicaraan ? Itulah cubaan menyembunyikan ‘kebenaran’ !
Sampai bila berita itu boleh tersembunyi ? Sampai masa, terselak dan terbuka : PASTI JELAS DAN KELIHATAN ! Saya nak ingatkan para perasuah ! Satu sen duit kamu hulur atau terima, pasti hasil makanan yang kamu telan bakal menjadi ‘racun’ kepada diri sendiri.
Hukum Tuhan memang begitu : Makanan daripada hasil yang halal, manfaat semesta alam. Sebaliknya : Makan makanan hasil duit haram, binasa badan ! Tak caya cuba ! Tuhan tak pernah tipu sedara ! Najib & Rosmah jer galak nak tipu diri sendiri ! Sekarang, sapa susah ? Mencuka yo !
Rumah kata pergi, my dear Rosmah. Kubur kata mai cepat cikit ! Ingat-ingat pesan tu ! Kita ingatkan supaya insaf. Kalu nak berdegil jugak…terpulang kat you. Tuhan satu yo, Kak Bedah ! Sey nih nak sonyum yo, Kak Rosmah !
