Rahim advises Nik Aziz to stop giving excuses and defending Anwar

PETALING JAYA: PAS will eventually lose out if it continues to defend Opposition Leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim who is battling with moral issues, said former Malacca chief minister Tan Sri Abdul Rahim Tamby Chik.

He advised PAS spiritual advisor Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat to stop evading the issue by giving the excuse he did not want to be involved in matters that mortify a fellow Muslim.

“Nik Aziz must have forgotten that upholding the truth is of paramount importance in Islam.

“Let him (Anwar) fall if he has brought shame to himself, his family, his party, and to the ummah and Islam,” added Rahim.

Rahim claimed that Nik Aziz was tightly surrounded by Anwar's people planted in PAS.

Rahim, businessman Datuk Shazryl Eskay Abdullah and Perkasa treasurer-general Datuk Shuaib Lazim had, on March 21, exposed a video showing a man resembling Anwar with a woman believed to be a foreign prostitute.

Anwar lodged a police report the following day denying that he was the man in the video.

On Friday, Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Ismail Omar said local experts have confirmed that the sex video was authentic but the identity of the man in the video had yet to be verified.

“The identity of the man must be exposed in the interest of the nation,” said Rahim. “Moral misconduct of ambitious leaders should not be kept under wraps.

“Otherwise, weak, un-Islamic, hypocritical and morally corrupt leaders would be forced upon the public,” he added.

Rahim said the country would be held at ransom if such leaders assumed key positions in public office.

He called for the setting up of a royal commission to ascertain the authenticity of the sex video and to verify the identity of the man in the video.

The commission should comprise Pakatan Rakyat leaders, representatives of non-government organisations, media representatives, foreigners, and other credible quarters.

Rahim said the terms of reference for the inquiry should focus on precise forensic techniques and methodologies that meet with current standards, and exclusive identification process to ascertain the identity of the man in the video.

As a fellow comrade from the 1993 Wawasan team (in the Umno party polls then), Rahim advised Anwar to quit politics and find another job in the interest of his family.

Rahim gesa tubuh suruhanjaya diraja
KUALA LUMPUR 2 April - Bekas Ketua Menteri Melaka, Tan Sri Abdul Rahim Tamby Chik mengulangi gesaan agar Suruhanjaya Siasatan Diraja ditubuhkan bagi menyiasat individu dalam video aksi seks setelah polis mengesahkan rakaman itu tulen.

Menurutnya, penubuhan suruhanjaya itu bagi memelihara kepentingan rakyat dan negara kerana ia melibatkan dakwaan pembabitan seorang pemimpin pembangkang.

"Kebenaran tidak harus disembunyikan, jika tidak rakyat Malaysia pasti disogok dengan tokoh lemah, tidak Islamik, hipokrit dan bermoral rendah.

"Sekiranya tabiat seperti dirakam ini terlepas ke tangan musuh negara (dan dijadikan ugutan), pasti binasa keharmonian rakyat negara ini," katanya di sini hari ini



KUALA LUMPUR 2 April - Pertubuhan Jaringan Melayu Malaysia (JMM) mencabar Ketua Angkatan Muda Keadilan (AMK), Shamsul Iskandar Mohd. Akin agar menyerahkan bukti kepada polis jika benar beliau memiliki rakaman video seks melibatkan pemimpin UMNO dan Barisan Nasional (BN).

Yang Dipertua JMM, Azwandin Hamzah berkata, sekiranya gagal berbuat demikian dalam tempoh dua tiga hari ini, pihaknya akan meminta polis mengambil keterangan dan mendapatkan rakaman video seks yang didakwa dimiliki Shamsul Iskandar.

Beliau percaya pemimpin AMK itu sengaja mengeluarkan fitnah dengan niat jahat bagi mengalihkan perhatian masyarakat mengenai pendedahan video seks didakwa seorang pemimpin pembangkang baru-baru ini.

"JMM ingin menasihatkan Shamsul Iskandar agar tidak membiarkan dirinya dijadikan 'kuda tunggangan' oleh individu tertentu bagi mengeluarkan kenyataan yang tidak mempunyai bukti dan fakta dengan niat untuk memfitnah mana-mana pihak.

"Jadi kita cabar beliau segera menyerahkan apa yang didakwa rakaman video seks melibatkan pemimpin politik kepada polis agar siasatan terhadap individu terbabit dapat dijalankan seperti siasatan terhadap pendedahan video seks melibatkan pemimpin parti pembangkang baru-baru ini," katanya ketika ditemui selepas membuat laporan polis terhadap Shamsul Iskandar di Ibu Pejabat Polis Daerah Dang Wangi, di sini hari ini.

Menurutnya, perbuatan Shamsul Iskandar itu adalah terdesak untuk menyelamatkan ahli politik yang didakwa terlibat dalam rakaman video seks baru-baru ini, memandangkan dakwaan yang dilempar terhadap pemimpin BN dan UMNO hanya dibuat selepas pendedahan rakaman video seks pemimpin pembangkang berkenaan.
