Prosecution’s bid to transfer case is “baffling”: Anwar

Anwar in court this afternoon

Anwar recalls that PM Abdullah said in no uncertain terms that Attorney General Ghani Patail should not be involved in any way in the case, but “we have seen letters to show that Ghani Patail is involved”.

He also chastises Utusan for playing up the Hindraf protest. “The Utusan story is trying to incite Malay anger against the Hindus,” he claims. “The issue here is the oppressive ISA. Those who have been victimised by oppressive laws must be released. Don’t twist it into a controversy over dog food – that’s not the issue.”
