PAS Leader Sex Video: The Conspiracy Theories
Farah Harith, Malaysian Digest
The latest sex video allegedly involving an opposition politician may hit a snag almost as quickly as the video going viral.
The video showing a man resembling PAS secretary-general Dato Mustafa Ali having sex with a woman in a hotel room was uploaded first by a blog Kedah69ers.com at 8.30pm last night.
It was then shared by several others with lengthier clips of the same video. The initial clip was a mere 4 seconds, with hapraknews.blogspot.com having an 11 minute version of it.
However, according to a posting on theflyingkick.blogspot.com today, the woman is believed to be Mustafa’s second wife.
Another blog, daengselili.blogspot.com posted that an unnamed source has confirmed that the woman is in fact Mustafa’s second wife, and that Mustafa is slated to hold a press conference today to explain the situation along with a copy of their marriage certificate.
As of press time, there has been no word yet on the press conference.
Meanwhile, PAS vice president Datuk Husam Musa, in a report on Malaysiakini this morning believes that the video is ‘fake’ and that PAS does not need to investigate the matter further.
Husam is confident that videos can be made up and this is an example of one such effort that is merely politically motivated.
“This does not effect Pakatan’s campaign in any way,” he added.
Earlier, controversial blogger, Papa Gomo had insinuated that the woman was hired by PKR, and that the whole scandal is part of the opposition coalition’s alleged infighting.
That led to Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) today denying any involvement in the distribution of the video cip.
Malaysiakini reported that PKR vice-president N Surendran issued a statement saying that the relations between PKR and other Pakatan Rakyat party component is cordial and that they are united in their fight to bring down Barisan Nasional (BN).
It was earlier rumored that several Angkatan Muda Keadilan (AMK) members had been arrested in Terengganu for distributing VCDs of the video clip.
However a report on The Star quoted Terengganu CID Chief Assistant Commissioner K Manoharan as saying that while the police managed to seize the VCDs and several photographs, no arrests have been made.
Meanwhile, Suara Pakatan Rakyat came out with an article last night, after the release of the video clip, claiming that they were the first to report on the existence of a sex clip implicating Mustafa.
The blog, which the opposition coalition has denied having any control over, said that the first time they mentioned the existence of the video was in May last year.
They also allege that the ‘hands’ behind the video was a small group within PAS itself, in an effort to oust Mustafa.
