Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s accuser told the High Court today that he went for a medical check-up only two days after he was allegedly sodomised by the opposition leader.
Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan said he initially went to two private hospitals before eventually going to Hospital Kuala Lumpur (HKL).
This was due to advice from a doctor in Pusat Rawatan Islam (Pusrawi) that a report from a private hospital could not be used in court. He had initially gone to Hospital Tawakal where he was told the doctors were only working half-day.
“I then decided to go to the nearest hospital. Pusrawi Hospital at Jalan Tun Razak,” Saiful said.
He related that he had met a Dr Muhammad Osman Abdul Hamid who examined him after he complained of pain in his abdomen and anus.
Saiful confessed he only told Dr Muhammad Osman he had been sodomised at the point when the doctor was inserting a device into the anus.
“The doctor immediately stopped and then recommended me to go to HKL because the court will not accept any report from the hospital and the hospital does not have the necessary equipments,” he said.
At HKL, Saiful said he was taken to the emergency ward after informing hospital staff that he had been sodomised.
“So I went to outpatient and met a female Indian doctor but I was shy so she referred me to an Indian male doctor next door. His name was Daniel.
“I told him that I was sodomised by Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim,” said Saiful, referring to a male doctor he named “Dr Daniel” who carried out the physical check.
Anwar’s family who were seated in the public gallery, especially his daughters, reacted strongly to Saiful’s testimony, hissing in disgust.
They remained highly tensed throughout today’s trial. One bit her nails while another kept her arms tightly crossed across her chest.
Continuing his testinomy, Saiful said that Dr Daniel was shocked and sent him to the One Stop Crisis Center (OSCC) in the emergency ward.
He waited for an hour before an Indian doctor came to check his blood pressure and left.
Half an hour later, the doctor came and told him that he needs to lodge a police report before the hospital could check him for sodomy.
Two policemen approached him at the hospital to help him file the report, providing him with certain forms.
Saiful added that Superintendent Jude Pereira, who is also the investigating officer for this case, came by later to take down his statements while four HKL doctors were giving him a full physical check, which included swabbing his anus, torso and neck.
The trial adjourned for the day soon after that and will resume tomorrow at 9.30am before paying a second visit to the Desa Damansara Condominium to allow the defence to visit the control room where the closed circuit television (CCTV) recordings kept in a computer hard disk are placed.
According to Anwar’s lawyer, Sankara Nair, the defence team had got separated from the rest of the court entourage at the site visit earlier.
Sankara explained that they were unaware the judge and the rest of the court officials had checked out the control room.
He insisted that the defence be given a chance to see the place for themselves, which the judge agreed.
Earlier this morning, the court visited the condominium where Saiful explained how and where the alleged act of sodomy occurred two years ago.
Saiful, who Anwar said was just his “coffee-boy”, was in the witness dock this morning on the second day of the trial but the hearing was held in camera due to the graphic nature of his testimony.
Solicitor-General II Datuk Mohd Yusof Zainal Abiden led the questioning on behalf of the prosecution before High Court judge Datuk Mohamad Zabidin Mohd Diah.
Anwar, the 62-year-old PKR de facto leader, is charged with sodomising Saiful at Unit 11-5-1 of the Desa Damansara Condominium in Jalan Setiakasih, Bukit Damansara here between 3.01pm and 4.30pm on June 26, 2008.
The former deputy prime minister has denied the charge, describing it as “evil, frivolous lies by those in power” when the charge was read out to him. He is charged under section 377B of the Penal Code and can be sentenced to a maximum of 20 years’ jail and whipping upon conviction. The trial is taking place 18 months after Anwar was charged in court in August 2008.
After a 30-minute hearing today which was adjourned at 11am, the entire court left for the condominium in the leafy Damansara Heights enclave popular with many expatriates. The Malaysian Insider understands that Mohamed Zabidin ordered today’s site visit to follow-up on the earlier closed-door testimony of the complainant.
According to sources, Saiful led the judge to the unit and the room where the sexual act was purported to have taken place two years ago.
Anwar’s lead counsel Karpal Singh yesterday asked for Saiful’s testimony to be heard in-camera after he graphically described Anwar’s use of profanity in asking for sex.
He also said entry to the condominium required the use of a password which he said was “Mokhtar”.
The 24-year-old had also testified he had worked for Anwar for four months, from early March 2008 to June 28 of the same year, and stopped being the Permatang Pauh MP’s special aide because he did not want to be further abused.
Anwar was charged with sodomy and corruption in 1998 after he was sacked from the Cabinet and was later convicted and jailed for both offences. He was freed in September 2004 and later resurrected his political career by winning back his Permatang Pauh parliamentary seat in a by-election in 2008, which had been held in the interim by his wife.
He had earlier led the opposition coalition, Pakatan Rakyat, to a historic sweep of five states and 82 parliamentary seats in Election 2008.
