If Anwar is innocent then why is Saiful still free and there is no action taken against him by the autorities even the religious one? What a shame for Adat Melayu and Islam. There seems to be no justice for the innocent here The AG has to appeal. Otherwise, how can he respond to the judgment that the DNA evidence could not be upheld because the judge was of the opinion that the authenticity of the DNA could not be ascertained thus suggesting a planted job ! That would require an automatic investigation into the conduct of the police investigators. We all know from Sodomy 1 where this will finally point to Don't waste tghe Rakyats money and the courts' time. Move on, to the next world.wondering when a High Court judge says evidence was not corroborated at the full hearing of so many witnesses, how will at Appeal Court 3 judges could corroborate the testimony without directly hearing the witnesses? A real mockery and abuse of the legal system and a waste of public funds
People get murdered, C4'd, raped, kidnapped etc. And our AG is so concern about one arse which the court had already found not guilty. is this what we call caring for society or abuse of power?The AG should be brought to court instead for wasting Taxpayer's money and the court's time. How could a Pulic Office file an appeal without revealing the grounds?
AG is abusing his power by utilizing the national resources to help Saiful on his personal lawsuit on DSAI! The AG final goal is to help UMNO BARU leadership to run down their political rival DSAI! AG is a traitor to the country! He should be hung! UMNO BARU should use their own resources to back Saiful if they want, but cannot abusing the national resources! The grounds of appeal everybody also know....'to make Anwar busy at the order of najis because GE13 is just round the corner'. So Zaki (ex cheap justice), if the judiciary is fair lets see they throw out the appeal at the onset.This further confirmed that the MALAY person and only Malaysian Mahathir, Najib, UMNO and the BN are all AFRAID of is ANWAR IBRAHIM! Anwar has gone through the baptism of fire after his frolic with UMNO/BN. No Malay/Islamic leader/Malaysian has ever tested hell from Mahathir and Najib like Anwar who was physically assaulted, detained under ISA and publicly humiliated with false charges and fabricated evidence in sodomy I and II. Mahathir, Najib, UMNO and the BN are desperately trying at ALL costs to put Anwar in prison to stop him from exposing their misdeeds and evil plan to plunder Malaysia! Malaysians, if we don't support PR and Anwar, no Malaysians will dare to stand up for us in future!
One need not be a die-hard Anwar fan to know that AG Abdul Gani Patail is - after Mahathir
the man who lives in greatest fear of Pakatan taking over the Federal Government. The list of his abuses of power is uncountably long. The moment the UMNO-BN regime falls, Gani Patail must be seized and held to account. AG... have you nothing else to focus on? How about taking your head out of PM's behind and pursue more pertinent matters? Have you not wasted enough of tax payers money?. haven't you forgotten that you want to fight for justice when you are studying for the law degree? Covering the murder case of Altantunya equates you as a murderer too. Head of the Trial and Appeals division Kamaluddin Md Said, which is more important - appealing to higher court for a review in a sex trial or a murder trial? Stop wasting our taxpayers' money. Why appeal against Anwar's sex trial verdict when the judge had made a clear-cut judgement that the crucial DNA sample/evidence had been 'illegally' tampered with by a senior police officer.Compare this with the no appeal to the higher court against the acquittal of Razak Baginda in Altantuya murder case. There were many inconsistencies and the main witnessess were not called in the trial. Razak is the only person, and not the two PM's bodyguards who were sentenced to be hanged, has a link to Altantuya to provide a motive for the murder. DPP Kamaluddin, is it because one is an opposition leader and the other a friend of PM Najib?commend the AG's Chambers on their efficiency. In Anwar's acquittal AG file appeal so quickly but in Razak Baginda's case (which was an accusation of MURDER) no appeal was filed at all. In a murder acquittal, an appeal would be filed as a matter of course but none was. There is clearly a case of double standards here but more imporatantly in Razak Baginda's case a traversty of the rule of law and a failure of the Malaysian justice system Kamaluddin, when it concerns the Oppositions Leader you are super efficient in appealing against judgements But when it concerns Cronies of Najib Razak YOU closed both your bloody eyes, what sort of Trial and Appeal Division Head are YOU, are you a Balls Licker of sort or Arse Licker either way you are shame and disgrace to the Law profession. Be careful as Allah may reward you with disabled children.
It is the right of the AG's chambers to appeal though it is obviously very clear that it is a personal vengeance of Gani Patail and Najib against Anwar. And in Najib's case, it is for his political survival that when Anwar is put behind bars, then Najib stands a better chance to win the GE.Attorney-General, why was the verdict involving Abdul Razak Baginda not appealed? How much did Najib pay to bailout Baginda?
Murder case not being appealed, but clear fabricated evidence case is being appealed. AG clearly bias action makes more people like me to vote for PR. But in the case of the acquittal of Razak Baginda in the Altantuya murder, it was a mockery of justice that the AG blatantly refused to appeal the acquittal of Razak Baginda. This was a personal favour that Gani Patail did for Najib who has to rescue his partner in 'sex and crime' . You can get away with murder in Malaysia as long as Gani Patail is the AG Justice must not only be served but must be seen to be served. Was it right that a former UMNO member and UMNO lawyer was fast tracked in his promotions after joining the bench and then made a CJ - Tun Zaki Azmi ? Was it right that Zaki's wife was awarded a negotiated Billion ringgit project for the elevated Kidex highway, with no experience and no expertise. Isn't this, payback to the CJ for favours rendered to UMNO and the government ? Was it right for the judge to accept that there was no motive for the murder of Altantuya ? So what is Ariffin Zakaria talking about ? This is corruption, injustice, manipulation and dirt right from the top hierarchy of the judiciary. Fix it first, then talk later.
When someone has an opinion, his/her opinion may be right or wrong. But it is just an opinion. Does he/she produce proof for his/her opinion? If a judge made a wrong or biased judgment and someone voiced out against the judge, there is nothing to prove because it is an opinion of that person. It would be a clash of opinion (and interpretation of facts) between the judge and that person. The CJ has just insinuated that people can be prosecuted for voicing their opinions. Where is the freedom of speech then when people are threatened with prosecution every time they voiced out their opinions?

GAY AND BISEXUAL MEN’S PREFERENCES ABOUT THE CHARACTERISTICS OF A FUTURE RECTAL MICROBICIDE FOR ANAL INTERCOURSE
Melissa Rader, MPH1, Gary Marks, PhD1, Gordon Mansergh, PhD1, Nicole Crepaz, PhD1, Sheila Murphy, PhD2, Lynn Miller, PhD2, and Paul Robert Appleby, PhD2. (1) Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention – Epidemiology Branch, CDC, 1600 Clifton Road, Mailstop E45, Atlanta, GA 30342, 404-639-6174, mvr6@cdc.gov, (2) University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA
OBJECTIVE – To provide a multidimensional examination of men who have sex with men’s (MSM) preferences about the characteristics of a potential microbicide for anal intercourse. METHODS – 387 MSM were recruited at street locations in West Hollywood, California. Participants rated 48 features that might characterize a microbicide product, indicating the extent to which each feature increased or decreased the likelihood of product use (7-point scale) and selecting the feature most important to them. Seven dimensions were formed: product effectiveness, use of product, convenience/accessibility, physical attributes of product, physical effects of its use, psychological effects, and interpersonal concerns. RESULTS – Sample characteristics: 52% white, 22% African-American, and 26% Latino. 72% reported they were HIV-negative; 15% were HIV-positive and 13% had unknown HIV serostatus. Median age was 29. The dimension “effectiveness of the product” had the highest composite mean rating (6.51). 40% of the participants indicated that confidence in effectiveness against HIV infection was the feature most important to them. Participants also wanted the product to be effective against other sexually transmitted diseases, to be recommended by an expert, to not reduce physical sensation or pleasure, and to allow for personal control. Preferences were similar across age, ethnicity, education, income, and HIV serostatus. CONCLUSION – These findings can help guide future development and marketing of a microbicide for MSM. The fact that preferences were similar across sociodemographic characteristics suggests that HIV prevention campaigns to promote information and use of a microbicide may be able to target a wide audience of MSM.
Learning Objectives: At the conclusion of the session, the participant will be able to: 1)List five features MSM consider important to them in a future rectal microbicide, 2)Discuss the relationship of sociodemographic characteristics, attitudes, and behavior with microbicide feature preferences, 3)Describe the implications these findings have for future development, marketing and prevention efforts

WE KNOW SHARRI IS THE KIND WHO WOULD STREAK IN A NUDIST CAMP TO GAIN ATTENTION. THIS IS THE STATE OF THE MINDS IN SUSPENSION INSIDE THE BLACK HOLE OF UMNO. SHARRI IS IN THE LEAGUE OF VILLAGE IDIOTS ON A DONKEY AND HAS RUN OUT OF CARROTS. HIS ONLY SERVICE TO THE NATION IS BEING A SCUM AND ECHO FOR THE POWERS WHO ARE INTELLECTUALLY BANKRUPT.
ANYONE OUT THERE HAS A PHOTO FIX ON FARAH AZLINA BINTI LATIF… WOULD BE GOOD TO CIRCULATE HER PICTURE SO THAT ALL CAN ADVERTISE THAT THE DPP’S OFFICE IS NOW OFFERING SEXUAL SERVICES AND ESCORTS UNDER YOUR BILLING ON YOUR CREDIT CARD IT WILL SAY “PROTECTION SERVICES” OR BETTER STILL “SAFETY OF WITNESS AND WITNESS PROTECTION PLAN” … PLEASE SELECT ONE OR ALL OF THE ABOVE.
All eyes are on Monday’s resumption of the Sodomy II trial, where defense lawyers acting for Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim are likely to ask the court to call on both DPP Farah Azlina Latif and complainant Saiful Bukhari Azlan to take to the stand over allegations they had an affair – which could jeopardize the fairness of the trial.
“I believe the defense team is still weighing the best way to move forward. But an application to probe the extent of Saiful’s relationship with the DPP may be the first step,” PKR vice president Sivarasa Rasiah told Malaysia Chronicle.
“The Attorney-General cannot expect us and the world at large to take his word as good that she had no access to the Investigation Papers or any information that could help Saiful.”
Case also hinges on Saiful’s credibility
Apart from possible unfair advantage, the sex scandal also casts a question mark on Saiful’s credibility as a key witness. This is an important point because the government’s case against Anwar hinges on Saiful’s testimony.
If the allegations are true, then Saiful would have cheated on his fiancee. Experts said such unreliability of character not only adds to the doubt already surrounding his testimony, but should render it void in the interests of justice and fair play to the person he has accused – Anwar.
“Saiful is accusing Anwar of having sodomized him. No one saw them – we only have Saiful’s word for it. And despite his having taken an oath in the mosque, Saiful has been found lying before. It is not the first time,” Siva said.
“So the question of morality cannot be evaded. There are serious questions about his character and his credibility as a witness especially with this latest affair. Before that, he denied meeting Prime Minister Najib Razak prior to lodging the police report against Anwar. Najib also denied meeting him, but when photos started to appear, both he and Saiful admitted to meeting in Putrajaya.”
Did Saiful cheat on his fiancee?
Both Saiful and Farah were already engaged to be married to respective partners. News has emerged that Farah broke off her engagement and allegations are rife it was because of Saiful.
Nonetheless, despite the possibility of gross misconduct, Anwar’s defense team led by Sankara Nair can expect to face tough resistance from both the court and the Najib administration.
In fact, many prominent civil society leaders, including lawmakers from United Kingdom, Canada and Australia, have already labeled the case a sham trial.Their criticism splashed all over cyberspace and the international press has shamed the country.
“The Najib administration will surely fight Anwar all the way. It is clear they want Anwar to lose. They want to lock him up and throw away the key,” PKR strategic director Tian Chua told Malaysia Chronicle.
“From day one, there was mala fide. They insisted on the trial even though there was no evidence of anal penetration, and till now, they are denying the defense access to key information in the case.”
THE GREAT MALAYSIAN SEX OPERA
My friend, Martin Jalleh wrote an interesting piece which unfortunately has been spiked by the online publications he’s sent it to. I thought you might like to read it. So here it is…Sodomy circus turns into a sex opera!
By Martin Jalleh
It seems that for the past few days the Attorney General (AG)’s Chambers have become somewhat like a boiler room after being hit by one steamy story after another. The AG, Gani Patail, has been going bonkers, berserk and ballistic, as a result of an unexpected hard blow below the belt by Raja Petra Kamarudin (RPK).
The famous whistleblower, lid-blower and blogger had dropped a bombshell by alleging that the AG has been bonking the head of one of his divisions.Such news blew many away but RPK said their sexploits were nothing new. Many in the AG’s Chambers have chosen to turn a blind eye to their boss’ bonking.
The AG and partner have allegedly saved the nation’s taxpayers money, as they would blissfully bunk, bonk and bond in the same hotel room during their frequent trips abroad.
We should not be bogged down by who is bonking whom, but when such basic or base instincts are allegedly displayed by the nation’s top legal officer it becomes the rakyat’s business!
This is especially so when the AG has been bonking from high moral ground of his Office whilst trying hard to banish Anwar Ibrahim into political oblivion with a bull-loaded sodomy charge.
Bonking Binge
The sex opera began with RPK alleging that the prosecution’s star witness in Anwar’s Sodomy II trial, Mohd Saiful Bukhar, was bonking Farah Azlina Latif, a deputy public prosecutor (DPP) involved in the case.
Was RPK bluffing? The AG begged not to comment but instead bundled Farah off to another division. Saiful and Farah bound themselves in silence, though Saiful could not stop babbling about the truth finally prevailing (and it really did!)
Anwar lodged a police report alleging that the “bonkers” had breached the law, especially the OSA. Karpal Singh, Anwar’s lead lawyer, said the couple, if innocent, should be bold enough to verify what they have been accused of. The Court was duty bound to allow him to question them in Court.
Karpal also blasted the AG’s Chambers: “Never before in the history of the country or in the Commonwealth has a DPP had an affair with the star witness”. The brave legal tiger forgot for a moment that he was inBolehland, where everything is beyond human comprehension!
The AG betrayed himself when he passed the baby on to Solicitor-General (SG) II Mohd Yusof Zainal Abiden, who told the court that the prosecution was totally blur on the bonking. He accused Anwar of making “bare allegations” and insisted there was no miscarriage of justice!
Karpal countered that Anwar had “bare facts” and “hard evidence” that the two had bared and bonked. He urged the Court not to go soft on the prosecution. The naked truth they could stand no more — is that their absolute lack of integrity has been exposed and credibility stripped to the very core!
The SG who was in the best position to respond to Anwar’s affidavit seeking the dismissal of the case, or require Saiful and Farah to file an affidavit, bewildered everyone by passing the buck to his subordinate DPP Hanafiah Zakaria and Investigating Officer (IO) Supt Jude Pereira.
As expected, the Court, which has been perceived by the general public as subserviently doing the bidding of the political masters, bowed and bent backwards, much to the pleasure of those in the AG’s Chambers.
Judge Zaibidin Diah found Anwar’s allegations of the Saiful-Farah’s sexual affair to be true but he ruled that the relationship did not compromise the case. He based this solely on the affidavits of the DPP and the IO. He rejected Anwar’s application to strike out the sodomy charge.
We are asked by the Court to believe that Farah, a qualified lawyer, chosen to be on the high-powered prosecution team, to assist in such a high-profile case, was merely a note-taker and beyond reasonable doubt was not privy to crucial information on the case!
Further, surely the learned judge knows that great empires have fallen when forbidden secrets were released by a lover during pulsating and passionate bonking moments and pillow talk. From the charge sheet and on to the bed sheet surely much would have been spilled!
As for DPP Hanafiah, Karpal told the Court that the DPP’s very own credibility was in question, alleging that the latter had had a second marriage in Thailand, and had tried to “legalise his marriage in Kota Bahru” and is therefore “guilty of committing an offence under the Syariah law”!
The IO had said that all investigation papers were strictly under his control. But who can trust the police nowadays? Even the Kota Kinabalu Sessions Court had described Jude Pereira’s boss, IGP Musa Hassan, “an incredible witness whose evidence is not to be believed”!
Monsters & Masterminds
The rakyat’s heart goes out to Janna Syariza, the fiancée of Saiful. Once when referring to the sodomy case, she had very bravely declared that she will stand by her man through the “monstrous battle that is looming ahead”, not realising that a “monster” was standing next to her.
RPK has also alleged in a blog posting “Just when you thought it is safe to go into the water”, that Saiful is also bonking Khairil Annas Jusoh, an aide of Najib. The man had proudly posed with the sodomy accuser outside the PM’s office when the latter went there “to apply for a scholarship”!
RPK revealed that after a one-month marriage, an on learning about the affair, Khairil’s wife left him and “divorce is certainly on the cards”. Will Janna Syariza, the fiancée of Saiful, be able to stomach and survive this third “storm”? She can be assured of the sympathies of many Malaysians.
One cannot but feel also for the fiancé of Farah who according to theMalaysian Chronicle is the assistant head of the prosecution unit in a northern state. They were engaged last year. Their marriage was due to take place on July 9.
A day before the marriage was due to be solemnized she asked for a cancellation, leaving her fiancé who had already sent out all the invitation cards stunned and heartbroken. Farah must have realized that she had gone too far!
Before we could even recover from the revelations of the shocking sex scandals of those who allow themselves to be used by the masterminds to destroy Anwar politically, RPK serves yet another sex sizzler and it involves the Attorney General himself!
Gani Patail must not remain silent. He must speak up and reveal whether it is just a spin (just like when almost everyone first thought that the Saiful-Farah sex liaison was one?). Not only his credibility and integrity is at stake, but also that of the Office of the Attorney General…and even the government!
Strangely enough the country’s self-appointed moralists and religious authorities have also been very silent on the sex fest that has taken place. There have been no screams or shouts of zina or khalwat or interviews and investigations to be conducted. Perhaps they have all grown up?
If such secret sex trysts are really going on amongst those in the Chambers of the AG what would be left of the public’s trust!
As someone said elsewhere, Shahrir, you’ve ‘mutated’. I’d rather say that you have evolved like the rest of us. You are now caught between the real you and the need to show love and loyalty for your party.’
It has been hotter than usual in Malaysia this past month. The temperature has soared to 38 degrees Celsius and most of us are cowering in our air-conditioned offices, going out only when we absolutely have to.
DATUK SERI MUSTAPA MOHAMED ADMITS THAT HE CONSIDERS HIMSELF AS A HETEROSEXUAL, HE HAS BEEN SLEEPING WITH SAIFUL BUKHARI LATELY AND ENJOYED WITH HIM
Well En Latif, your daughter’s courier tumbling down forever. To make it worse, Saiful may say that your daughter is the one to rape him! just like DSAI case. Be a good dad to do the right thing; make a police report now before your family name tainted. Unless you’re as cool as Saifool’s dad!my sympathies for Farah … poor girl (woman?) is either a pawn or a love-struck whatever! so, i would not hasten to cast doubts on the DPP’s case. but there’s nothing to prevent the powers that want DSAI finished throwing all … including “innocent” people. so, DPP, open your eyes, stiffen your spine, tighten your kidneys … and do the right thing.
there’s no sodomy, there’s only political power abuse. don’t increase malaysia’s already bad image on the international stage — as if the submarines, the Paris hiltons etc are not enough to make me, at least, feel shame and hesitate if ever asked: ARE YOU MALAYSIAN? Saifool is like a wild male cat during mating season and one who has been caged and hidden for months like criminal ….. (detained in the house of Mumtaz J) at TTDI. So when he is out, he just grabs a
What is most surprising is that the accusations made so far is so general without any specifics. The AG has already blinked his eyes and jumped!!
Does the AG knows more than us the public and it took the allegation for him to jump? Is she going to come out with the statement that she was ordered to do be “Witness Relations Officer” so that the witness does not turn hostile?
Can we expect Chapter 2 and 3 and 4 to come from those who have made the allegations? Is the AG considering withdrawing the case? For if he does not, may be he may also become directly implicated in the affair?
Is this why the PM has decided to take a quick holiday to be far out of Saiful’s sight, in case he comes back fro more advice?
All these are quite intriguing for us concerned rakyat. We do not want to see a miscarriage of justice. Perhaps the poor sweet looking DPP girl is also a victim? Who knows? . We are all anxiously waiting for answers!!.
