Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Ismail Omar has promised to leave no stone unturned in the probe into a sex video allegedly of Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim having sex with an unidentified woman.
Ismail said today that the police had formed a “special team” and will bring in and question anyone necessary.
“We will question and probe not only those believed to be behind the video, but anyone who can help us with the investigation,” said Ismail.
The IGP however was tight-lipped when asked to confirm rumours that the police had received the said sex video.
He also chose to neither confirm or deny that the “Datuk T” trio — Tan Sri Abdul Rahim Tamby Chik, businessman Datuk Shazryl Eskay, and Perkasa’s Datuk Shuib Lazim would be brought in for questioning.
“I don’t want to say anything yet... it might be premature at this point... we have not received any report from the team yet.
“Please do not speculate and give a chance to the special team to conduct the investigations,” Ismail told reporters.
Abdul Rahim and Shazryl admitted yesterday that they were collectively the mysterious “Datuk T” behind Monday’s screening of a sex video purportedly featuring Anwar.
The former Malacca chief minister also admitted that both he and Shazryl were involved.
He told reporters at a joint press conference together with Shazryl that the trio had chosen to step forward on their own accord because they wanted to show that “a person with high ambitions of wanting to be national leader and prime minister of Malaysia ... was not qualified.”
Abdul Rahim and Shazryl both denied the video was doctored.
Ismail said today that the special team was led by the Bukit Aman CID chief and senior officers of the Kuala Lumpur police headquarters.
Anwar claimed revenge had motivated Abdul Rahim towards orchestrating a sex tape scandal implicating the opposition leader.
“The involvement of Rahim Tamby Chik reminds me of his old case and old grudge... of his rape accusations and case where the prosecution papers were signed by (Attorney General Tan Sri) Gani Patail that he was involved with a bribery issue.
In 1994, Abdul Rahim had been charged with statutory rape involving a minor. Although the charge was later dropped by authorities, who cited insufficient evidence, the scandal had cost Abdul Rahim his political career.
“He’s doing this out of revenge,” Anwar said today.
Anwar, who turns 64 in August, was freed from jail in 2004 and is seen as the glue that binds the PKR-PAS-DAP pact.
He had played a key role in forming a viable opposition coalition in the run-up to the landmark 2008 general election when the three main opposition parties denied BN its traditional two-thirds control of Parliament.
The fledgling three-party coalition also won control over four other states — Kedah, Penang, Perak and Selangor — in addition to maintaining Kelantan in the 12th General Election.
PAS president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang had slammed the video which showed a man resembling a senior Malay opposition leader engaged in sex with a woman said to be prostitute.
Abdul Hadi had called it a dirty political move coming ahead of the Sarawak state elections.
A former deputy prime minister from 1993 to 1998, Anwar filed a police report denying he was the man recorded.
The father of six who is standing trial for sodomy with a former male aide has accused Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak and Home Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein of being involved in the video-recording, which Anwar said was an attack on him and PR.

That's right they said that "no stones will be left unturned in the Altantuya murder case". Till todate we don't know who are the culprits who ordered the two special forces personnels to blow up Altantuya. Since UMNO is implicated we cannot speculate much about anything.
when it comes to umno against opposition, opposition don't stand a chance.
Just look at the recent 'misjudgement' by the sodomy judge. He can revert his judgement at a snap of the fingers.
But we have to support the opposition to fight this evil and corrupted govt.
