Sodomy II trial starts today .........

What they got to say............

Anwar,

"We pray for the best but we are realistically enough. These are the machinations of the dirty corrupt few," Anwar added as he walked into the courtroom.Asked about his coalition's prospects if he was convicted, he replied "The coalition is strong, we have made all alternative arrangements well."

"We have seen the difficulties in the past but we pray for the best." he said.

“The lawyers are ready to give a shock in court. Umno repeats ‘quickly to courts!’ Yes, we will show what is relevant. Don’t avoid,” the de factor PKR and Pakatan Rakyat leader wrote in the tweet.

Anwar intends to subpoena Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak and his wife Rosmah Mansor as witnesses.......

"We want to know Rosmah and Najib's involvement in this," Anwar told supporters at the Kuala Lumpur High Court complex this morning.

"They had initially denied the meeting. Now Najib has admitted he had met (with Mohd Saiful) and we want to know (more).

“If Najib and the government have managed to cover up the Altantuya (Shaariibuu) murder trial, what more this? This is a desperate attempt to implicate me."

Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah,

"Another trial to shame the country the world over. Is this case even triable anymore?"

Anwar noted that the presence today of the foreign media and representatives of diplomatic missions was larger then at his 1998 sodomy and corruption trials.

"Certainly, they have voiced their concern over this recent development."

Among those in court were representatives of Japan, UK, Switzerland and the United States. Also present were International Committee of Jurists and Commonwealth Lawyers Association representative Mark Tromwell, and the International Bar Association's Jennifer Robinson. There are acting as observers during the trial.

The proceedings attracted a string of Pakatan Rakyat leaders including Kelantan Menteri Besar Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat (PAS), Selangor MB Khalid Ibrahim (PKR), Ipoh Timor MP Lim Kit Siang, PKR president Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail and her deputy Syed Husin Ali.
