Sex video: Anwar lodges police report

KUALA LUMPUR: Opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim lodged a police report Tuesday over the release of a sex video implicating a senior opposition politician.

He made the report at the Dang Wangi police station here.

The video was shown Monday to a select group of media representatives at Carcosa Seri Negara.

He arrived at the police station at 10.35am accompanied by his wife Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail and left at about 12.05pm.

Present were PKR leaders R Sivarasa, Tian Chua and M Manickavasagam, PKR vice-president N Surendran and PKR Youth chief Shamsul Iskandar Md Akin.

In the report, copies of which were distributed to the media, Anwar denied that he was the man in the video.

"This is a humiliating, excessive and politically-motivated attack against my character and reputation and my family," he said in the report.

An unidentified group had claimed that it had a black-and-white video clip of a sexual act between an opposition leader and a woman said to be a prostitute at a hotel.

The group, led by a man who had introduced himself only as Datuk T, had said that it would hand over the video clip to the particular opposition leader and his wife in about a week.

Sex video shocker

KUALA LUMPUR: The release of a video recording of a man resembling an opposition party leader having sex with a foreign prostitute has shocked the nation in the latest scandal to rock the country.

Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, speaking at a press conference at 5.30pm – some four hours after news of the recording’s existence first got out – denied that he was the man and dismissed the whole thing as a political ploy.

A mysterious Malay man, who identified himself as “Datuk T”, released the video at Carcosa Seri Negara. Invited newsmen were shown the almost 22-minute video under much secrecy and security.

“Datuk T” gave the politician and his wife a week to quit politics and threatened to make public the video through some NGOs if they did not.

The revelation of the tape also overshadowed other events and even rendered the Parliament debates tame as both sides of the divide digested the latest scandal.

我的第一間房屋計劃 1萬4000單位供選購

我的第一間房屋計劃
1萬4000單位供選購
(吉隆坡10日訊)國家房屋公司董事經理拿督卡馬魯指出,全國共有1萬4000個單位可供月入少于3000令吉者購買,以實現政府推行的“我的第一間房屋”計劃

他說,國家房屋公司通過居者有其屋計劃,在全國推行35項發展計劃,興建房價介于10萬令吉至22萬令吉的房屋,當中12項計劃已完成。

他指出,國家房屋公司與大馬再抵押機構(Cagamas)有限公司合作,以收集購屋者數據及過濾申請者名單后,提呈給國內各金融機構。

他指出,截至目前,共有3000名購屋者有興趣加入該計劃,且該計劃允許年齡介于35歲,在私人機構任職的低收入者申請。

他接受《每日新聞》訪問時指出,“我的第一間房屋”計劃有利于購屋者。

從今年1月開始,剛加入職場和月入少于3000令吉的年輕人購買屋子,以及符合資格的年輕人可向國內超過25家金融機構,包括回教金融機構申請房貸。

有利購屋者

在此計劃下,年輕人可購買10萬令吉至22萬令吉的屋子,並可獲得100%房屋貸款,攤還期為30年。

另外,國家房屋公司主席拿督依德利斯哈崙透露,該公司將在近期設立一站式服務來協助低收入的購屋者與金融機構接洽。

“我們確保新婚夫婦和低收入者可以實現擁有自己第一間房屋的夢想,同時協助政府達成該目標。”

此外,大馬消費人協會也促請政府應管制發展商,以避免他們只發展22萬令吉以上房屋,從而邊緣化那些無能力購買房屋的一群。
