The unidentified individual who organised the screening of a sex video has demanded that a top opposition leader and his wife quit politics.

In the footage, a man closely resembling a senior opposition leader is depicted having sex with an unknown woman in a hotel room in Kuala Lumpur.

NONEThe individual, who only wants to be known as ‘Datuk T’, said a copy of the footage would be sent to the politician and his wife a week from today, “for them to ascertain if the individual... is (name withheld)”.

“If it is true.... (the couple) must step down from politics,” reads the statement signed by ‘The Insider’ and which was distributed to reporters after they viewed the footage this morning.

“If (the couple) do not quit politics within seven days after receiving a copy of the footages [sic], I will call on several NGOs to set up an independent panel to investigate and seek professional forensic services to study the authenticity of the recordings.

“The whole world will know, and it is up to (the couple) to decide.”

Word about the video footage spread on a blog, prompting several PKR leaders to tweet their view that the footage was doctored.

‘Hidden CCTV cameras’

Explaining in the statement how he came across the recording, ‘Datuk T’ said he had been told by the politician on Feb 21 to go to a hotel in Kuala Lumpur to retrieve an Omega watch that the latter had left in a room.

Datuk T claimed that the hotel offers sex services and spa facilities.

“As I could not find the watch on the table, I searched for it behind the dresser. I was shocked to find many strands of wire behind the dresser.

“Upon close inspection, I found four well hidden CCTV cameras. I tried to open two dresser drawers, and found one was locked. I pry open the locked drawer using a sharp object. I found an active CCTV recorder.

“I disconnected the wiring and took the recorder out of the hotel. The recorder contained footages [sic] of (the politician) in sexual acts. No one else has this recording and I will not hand over copies to any quarters for fear of reproduction and distribution.”

The statement concluded by posing and answering the question: “Why am I doing this? There is a limit to lies - ‘Enough is Enough’ and it is high time the public know....THE TRUTH.”
