Former PKR central committee member Badrul Hisham Shaharin denied that the man in the sex video shown to the media on Monday at Carcosa Seri Negara, was PKR de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim.

"When I saw the video, from that man's gerak-geri (movements) I knew it definitely wasn't Anwar," said Badrul Hisham, widely known as Chegubard, in a press conference today at the Kuala Lumpur Selangor Chinese Assembly Hall.

"With just a glance, one might think it's him but those close to him will know it's not," added Badrul, who is married to Anwar's niece.

Chegubard NONEsaid he received a call late Monday evening from businessman Shazryl Eskay Abdullah, offering him a view of the sex video.
"I was told to meet him in front of Institute Jantung Negara by 7.45pm with few friends, but later on he said only me and another person would be allowed to watch it," he said.

 Shangri-La Hotel

Chegubard and a close friend from Umno then followed Eskay to Shangri-La Hotel in Kuala Lumpur.

"When we arrived, we were checked thoroughly by security and had to surrender our mobile phones, too."

 Eskay then introduced him to former Malacca chief minister Rahim Thamby Chik and an elderly man, known only as Tengku Sulaiman.

Chegubard said initially, Eskay wanted him to be the ‘middleman' to give a copy to PKR president Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail and to pressure her husband, Anwar and her, to step down from the political arena.

But Eskay changed his mind and decided he wanted to deliver the video to Wan Azizah personally.

"We watched the sex video together, twice. While watching the sex video I heard Rahim exclaimed 'astaghfirullah' (May Allah forgive us) a couple of times. My impression was that it was his first time viewing the video."

 Family holiday

Chegubard added that Rahim confessed that was the first time he was viewing the tape, as Rahim just came back from a family holiday.

"How can he say he is part of the Dato T-trio when last Monday he told me it was his first time watching it?"

Asked to reveal who was his Umno friend who also watched the sex video, Chegubard refused to reveal his identity as that was up to the person.

"But he agrees with me that the man in the sex video is not Anwar."

Asked whether would there be a push for a RCI on this matter, his reply was that it was less of a question of having a RCI, but more of  ‘special treatment' for the trio.

Enough is enough, there should not be any favouritism in handling such matters," he said, adding that it is about time Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak stepped in and settled this issue.
