[Straits Times] DATUK Seri Anwar Ibrahim has vehemently denied that he is the man in the sex video, saying that this was a 'scurrilous attack' on him.'I categorically deny it,' said the Opposition Leader. Mr Anwar said he had been told that the man in the video looked similar to him but with a larger tummy.
'His belly is way bigger than mine. Look at mine; mine is small,' quipped Mr Anwar, who stood up to show his belly at a packed presser yesterday evening. He was flanked by his wife Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail and other party leaders.
Those present burst out laughing as a smiling Mr Anwar pointed to his belly with Dr Wan Azizah next to him. The couple were in a jovial mood as they posed for the cameras. A man who called himself 'Datuk T' showed the video, dated Feb 21, to journalists yesterday morning.
The sexual encounter was alleged to have taken place in a hotel room. Mr Anwar, who said he had yet to watch the video, said he was at home with his staff, wife, children and grandchildren when the supposed incident took place.
'I was at home and I did tweet at approximately the alleged time. I have saved the timing records as proof, knowing that my Twitter and Facebook accounts can be hacked. 'I have not seen the video and I do not know the maker,' he said, adding that he did not know who 'Datuk T' was.
