Karpal - 'Attempted sodomy' and 'attempted oral sex'....

Lead defence counsel Karpal Singh managed to put a major dent into the prosecution's case in Anwar Ibrahim's sodomy trial in the Kuala Lumpur High Court. The veteran lawyer pointed out this morning that the pro forma form filled by a Hospital Kuala Lumpur doctor has the words 'attempted sodomy' and 'attempted oral sex'.

The form was filled by doctors - mainly forensic pathologist Dr Siew Shueu Feng - who had interviewed and examined complainant Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan on June 28, 2008.

Former HKL Accident and Emergency Unit head Dr Khairul Nizam Hassan told the court that Saiful had told the medical team that he had been sodomised and forced to perform oral sex. "He (Saiful) did not mention 'attempted' but 'sodomy' and 'oral sex'," he said.

When shown the pro forma form, however, Khairul Nizam agreed the form states 'attempted sodomy' and 'attempted oral sex'. Despite this, he maintained that the medical examination was conducted to check for sodomy and oral sex.

Karpal pursued the matter, asking Khairul Nizam many times if the pro forma form was based on interviewing Saiful. The witness agreed, but stressed that the form is just as a guideline.

"How can you say it is sodomy or oral sex when the report states 'attempted'?" asked Karpal. He persisted with this line of questioning until Solicitor-General II Mohd Yusof Zainal Abiden - who is leading the prosecution team - objected to the repetition of the questions.

Karpal also pointed out that vital information which should have been indicated in the pro forma form had not been filled by the doctors. The 'vital information' included the circumstances that led to the alleged incident; on the complainant's medical history; and on past rectal examination as to whether or not the victim had defecated.- Hafiz Yatim.

'Laporan awal: Hanya cubaan ‘liwat’ Saiful, tiada penetrasi'

'Anwar wants charge dropped following latest sodomy report'

Sebab itulah pihak pendakwa TIDAK mahu menyerahkan laporan2 dan maklumat2 kepada pihak pembela, kerana laporan2 dan maklumat2 itu berbau najib..ooops sorrry..najis....penuh dengan konspirasi tipu muslihat....

cheers.
