If “irrelevant” was the buzzword from the first sodomy trial, today’s testimony by key prosecution witness Saiful Bukhari provides a new, if off-colour, catch phrase.

Note that Saiful claimed that he was forcefully sodomized (raped) in the Oath he took in the mosque.
Here in the courts, the charges is that he consented to it, and decided to become the “informer”

Gerakan K,
Agree with you. These rascals are ensuring the demise of the BN Government. And Sai Fool’s “Can I @#$@$# you,” is the the first step!
Have you ever said to your loved ones or the opposite sex “Can I @##$#@##$ you”, ever before? Crude and silly is it not? Have you ever, Gerakan K? Do you believe this drama…?

I am appealing to Syed Ibrahim and all the PKR central committee member to STOP campur tangan in the PKR – DAP feud in Penang.
The more you guys campur tangan, the more local PKR rank and file will get pissed off.
Before you guys want to get involve, please come, listen to what the local PKR rank and file have to say. Listen to them, PKR central committee, listen to what DAP, under Lim Guan Eng, is doing to PKR in Penang.
Get the feel first before issuing “gag orders” or whatever, because you guys can NEVER stop Penangites (including those in PKR) to do or say whatever they want to do or say.
What happened in between MP Tan and Syed Ibrahim is regrettable. Syed Ibrahim should have consulted with the local PKR before issuing that very illed-timed gag order.
It was the DAP who started the sparks. It was the way DAP has been treating the Penang PKR that got many PKR comrades very very fed up.
Not only the Malay PKR members are fed up. The Chinese PKR members too … also very fed up with DAP, and the Lim Guan Eng administration.
You guys are all within PKR, you guys should stand firm, against any bully — be it from BN or from DAP. Stop fighting amongst yourselves, PKR !
No, I am not a PKR member, and yes, I am a Kay Poh Chee. But I just hate to see the meaningless intra-PKR feud.
What PKR should do is to have a straight talk with DAP. They should be fair.
The PKR-led government in Selangor has been treating DAP Selangor very fairly. However, the DAP-led government in Penang has been ill-treating the PKR in Penang.
PKR Penang isn’t asking much. They just want to be treated fairly. That’s all.
And yes, PKR central committee should also ask DAP to shut up. The way Jeff Ooi is fanning the fire with all his rude remarks, and the lies that Chow Kon Yew is spreading aren’t helping the matter at all.
PKR should stand firm and ask DAP to behave. After all, DAP must understand that they are in the big league now, and DAP should stop behaving as though they were still in the little-league (as oppositions).

Iron,
Of course lah. For a political party command 2 setas more than DAP with 1 MBship plus 4 Excoships & 1 deputy speaker……Must treat DAP well lah
Iron,
I think you should stay clear from PKR Penang internal squabbles. It’s Mansor vs Zahrain. Period. Why Zahrain freak out? Ask Anwar. He is the one who strip Zahrain of his Penang PKR chairmanship.
Zahrain was given Datuk Seriship… What more does he want?…
And Tee Beng was complaining because he didn’t receive allocation from the state. You complain about Penang spending excessive money on PICC. With limited funds, how would expect Tee Beng to get funds so as Tee Beng can be popular? DAP MPs didn’t get a single cent, you know.

They found the semen two days after … They found it two days later, get it? I think they were referring to cement, even cement will dry up so hard after two days. Really does not make sense.
Another thing is Saifool said, Anwar asked him, Can I @#%$# you? He does not like it, yet he proceeded to change and came out with a towel? Now, yet there was no penetration! … Now is this sodomy or consensual sex if at all what Saifool said is true? If it is consensual sex and both DSAI and SAifool are Muslims they should be tried in the Syariah Court.
Infact, JAKIM has a serious and clear case against Saifool, as he claimed in open court that he and Anwar engaged in consensual sex which is against the order of nature? So which courts are the Muslims responsible to? Syariah or Civil court? Kartika was sentenced by a Syariah court, why is the DSAi, Saifool case tried in the Civil courts? Contradictory is it not? 1Malaysia 2 systems? Think about it folks, think about it.

When objecting to the evidence in the police report, Karpal pointed out that the last sodomy incident took placed at 6pm, but the charges stated at earlier hour. The persecutor rebuked that a few incidents of sodomy took placed at that day. I really admired Anwar if that is true; he surely has such a great sexual power even with his back pain still persisted. By the way, I know Anwar is such a busy body that he has no time for trivial issues. How can he managed to meet so many people at different places and still can indulge in private bedroom pleasure at this special place? What a great personal assistant Saiful must be in time management and scheduling! And who is Anwar’s driver? Micheal Schumacher? He must be driving at extreme speed in KL city area.

If Saiful was still a virgin, he would have instinctively purged after being sodomised. Same logic as to why we put soap inserts into the anus of those who constipated to induce passing of motion.
How to have traces of sperm left if Saiful already passed motion? Moreover, there was no evidence of penetration by an object when a doctor examined him after the alleged incident.
What the prosecution probably meant was there there were traces of Anwar’s DNA in Saiful’s anus. DNA is not automatically sperm. DNA can be easily planted. For sperms, some ingenuity will be needed, like using Saiful’s own sperms but sprinkle that with Anwar’s DNA. Saiful’s DNA found in those sperms will be regarded as a contamination.

USA can produce Avatar – an entire species that exists only on screen.
Meanwhile, Malaysia too can produce something with equal incredible ability…

ha ha ha i cant help but laugh it off when reading the comments from you guys especially O’s “cement”…
I shall leave it to the defence team…
Saiful just sounds fake to me even though i would like to believe him…
If BN’s time is up, it is up no matter how you play it. It will be back fired…
If Anwar were to be thrown in jail just like the first time, he will gaarner more support from his supporters…
If he were to be discharged because the case is not sustainable, he will be made a hero.
Either way, Anwar or PR will be the winner and BN just the other way around.
I think the gist is, we must not play the same game twice.

Dear Anil
The problem with continuous lying is that after a while the liar forgets what he/she has told and contradicts himself/herself.
Especially if coached by others.
Gerakan K, yes, I am a fan of ex-convicts.
Plenty of ex-convicts in the inspiring history of
Third World nations and peoples struggling to free themselves of colonialism and the neocolonialist
regimes that replaced them (or were put into office by the departing colonialists). Have you read
Frantz Fanon? Or do you even know who he is?
Also, go read up on Jomo Kenyatta, Kwame Nkrumah, Mohandas Gandhi and so on.
