Sex tape dominates Anwar's online chat session..

The sex video issue became the focus of Yahoo! Malaysia's first online live chat session with Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim today, which saw him vehemently rebut all questions on whether he was the person in the video.

Asked by a reader to show his Omega watch as doing so could "ease his moral issues", Anwar said there was no reason for him to do so. "What is the issue? First, (Shazryl) Eskay (Abdullah) claimed that it was given by a Saudi prince. Then, it was bought in Taiwan in 2004 (when I was in jail). Why is there the need for me to explain?"

Eskay, who exposed the video, claimed that the watch was left by Anwar at the hotel room where the video was recorded, and that he had surrendered the watch to the police.

Anwar also said that swearing on the Quran, to clear him name in this case, was against Islamic teachings.

To another question on the claim by police that experts from South Korea and the United States had confirmed that the individual in the sex tape resembles his face, Anwar maintained that the information was trumped up by the pro-Umno media.

"Typical example of how smart guys like you can be duped by Umno media. Which expert? Why can't they be transparent?" he asked.

Asked who he thinks the person in the sex tape is, Anwar quipped: "I have some suspects; big stomach and saggy breasts. Ha ha".

Key witnesses and alibi to be called

On the future of the opposition coalition should he be found guilty of sodomy, Anwar skirted the question and said based on facts and laws, there was no reason to jail him. He also said his counsel would call key witnesses to testify in the trial as well as provide evidence on his alibi. The High Court ruled there was a prima facie case against Anwar in his Sodomy II trial and ordered him to make his defence.

The "Question Time with opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim" programme from 11.30am to 12.45pm, which attracted more than 2,000 particpants, was the first online live chat session held by Yahoo! Malaysia.

Besides the Sodomy II trial and sex video, the questions posed by readers touched on the future of Pakatan Rakyat, PKR and policies to be implemented should Anwar become the prime minister.

Mainstream media propaganda

However, Anwar gave short and vague answers to most of the questions, leaving several unhappy readers complaining in micro-blogging website Twitter that the "real questions" were not answered and the session had turned into a public relations exercise.

Below are some questions answered by Anwar in the 75-minute online chat:

Question: Mr Anwar, who will become prime minister if Pakatan wins (the) next general election?
Anwar: Fair question. Pakatan will decide. We need your support.

Q: Do you believe Pakatan will reclaim Perak in the next general election?
A: Yes and Putrajaya too, Insya Allah.

Q: The perception is that Pakatan has lost ground since March 2008 and is no longer able to deny BN's two-third majority in the next polls. What do you have to say?
A: (That is) mainstream media propaganda. The reality on the ground is still promising. Example is Sarawak election.

Q: I want to ask you about your shadow government that you had promised to rakyat. Seems like it's just like a fairy tale from your side. Therefore, can you explain to me about this matter?
A: We have set up shadow committee which is more effective.

Q: Mr Anwar Ibrahim, do you think Malaysians can accept a non-Muslim Prime Minister?
A: Respect the constitution and the wishes of the people.

Q: What's your stand on Perkasa?
A: Insult to the intelligence of Malaysians with their racist tirade. It's also an Umno ploy to create mischief and racial tension.

Q: Has the relationship between Pakatan and Raja Petra Kamaruddin turned bad?
A: I am in touch with him.

Q: Could Lesbians, Gays, Bi-Sexuals and Transgenders (LGBTs) look forward to a non-discriminatory environment - specific to them and not other minorities - if Pakatan were to take Putrajaya? Would this move be possible with PAS as part of the federal government?
A: We recognise importance of family and the institution of marriage. But we should not unduly harass or discriminate others. The answer is through education and PAS accepts this view.

Q: If you are given a chance to take a break, would you rather go to the mountain or beach and why?
A: I would prefer the beach. Serenity and tranquility. Others ha ha!
