Anwar summoned to Bukit Aman over audio recording

 

PKR president Anwar Ibrahim is expected to give his statement to the police today in relation to an audio recording said to feature a conversation between him and Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.

His lawyer Sankara N. Nair confirmed that Anwar had an appointment with the police at their Bukit Aman headquarters.

“Based on the letter given to Anwar, he’s being investigated under Section 505(b) and Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act.

“I believe this investigation is on the audio recording,” he said.

For the record, Section 505(b) of the penal code deals with statements related to public mischief.

Both Anwar and Zahid denied the voices heard in the conversation were theirs.

Zahid said he was a victim of a political scheme to weaken Umno while Anwar blamed the government, adding it was an attempt to stir up conflict among Umno leaders.

While saying that they would file a police report on the circulated audio recording, to date, no report has been lodged by both parties.

Subsequently, Anwar questioned if it’s a crime even if the audio recording was genuine.

“What is the issue here? They want to divert attention away from corruption, the suspension of Parliament, (bad) policies, and the plight of the people.

“The audio clip has been made a priority. If it is authentic, what’s the problem? Was the public betrayed? Was there a crime? No.

“I’ve made a statement (to deny its authenticity). So has Zahid. That’s enough,” he added. - Mkini
