KUALA LUMPUR - A former research assistant of Malaysian politician Anwar Ibrahim has given his statement to the police after accusing Datuk Seri Anwar of sexually assaulting him in October last year.
The allegations first surfaced last Wednesday, when Mr Yusoff in a press conference described an incident involving Mr Anwar as"vile, insidious, morally repugnant and criminal in nature", and asserting that it"has left me traumatised and disturbed to an extent". Mr Anwar, who is president of Parti Keadilan Rakyat has denied the allegations, calling it"baseless slander" and a trick to degrade his image ahead of his party's national congress last week and the country's leadership power transition process.
The incident purportedly took place at Mr Anwar's home in Segambut, Kuala Lumpur in October last year. Mr Anwar has said he was busy campaigning for his parliamentary seat in Port Dickson and had a packed schedule that day. This marks the third time the 72-year-old politician has been accused of indecent acts by a former male employee.
