Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim who has taken refuge in the Turkish Embassy here in Kuala Lumpur fearing for his life after getting information from reliable sources of plans to assassinate him by his political enemies has issued this latest statement.
This is his full statement released at 5.30pm, Sunday 29th June, 2008:
” I am issuing this statement from within the embassy of the Republic of Turkey in Kuala Lumpur.
I was transported to the embassy earlier this morning fearing that my personal safety was in danger. I thank all those who offered to assist me in this time of need and am grateful to the Turkish ambassador for extending an invitation to seek refuge within the embassy.
Since the March 8 election, numerous credible sources from within the government and military intelligence have advised me that certain agents from within Barisan Nasional leadership have initiated plots to cause harm to me or my family or my supporters.
I have been told that my assassination has not been ruled out as means to subvert the people’s will and bring an end to the transformational changes taking place in Malaysia.
Notwithstanding the threats which are intended to silence my voice, I intend to make public new evidence implicating that Inspector-General of Police Musa Hassan and Attorney-General A Gani Patail engaged in criminal acts of fabricating evidence in cases launched against me in 1998.
The allegations that have been made against me on Saturday are nothing more than a replay of the events which transpired in 1998 when I was sacked from the office of the deputy prime minister, jailed and beaten, and then charged and convicted by a kangaroo court for crimes which I never committed.
This charade was orchestrated by a corrupt Barisan Nasional leadership which made use of the entire apparatus of the state power including its control of the judiciary, the police force, and its grip on the mainstream media.
These actions are being repeated today to undermine the forces of reform and renewal which were unleashed in the March 2008 election.
I would like to assure my family, friends and supporters in Malaysia that I am safe and remain committed as ever before to continuing the struggle for a free and just Malaysia.”

It’s a shame to see a Malaysian politician be hounded like this and forced to take shelter fearing for his life in an embassy of a foreign country in his own home nation’s capital?
Why does the Malaysian Prime Minister not come forward and guarantee Anwar Ibrahim’s safety if the BN really has nothing to do with this alleged sodomy case?
All that I see being reported is denials after denials being made by the PM and a few days down the road, we will all be flabbergasted by what is going to be plastered over all our television sets and online news portals and blogs?
Just wait and see.

You can fool some of the people some of the time, but not all of the people all of the time.
Fool me once, shame on you … fool me again shame on me.
Desperate people do desperate things…
Dear Mahaguru,
I can say that, this Pak Lelah cannot be trusted at all after series of corky lies to the public.
From his body language during interviewing by the press we can see something was not right.
Pak Lelah, Pak Lelah….. As Usual LAH.
That is what Anwar wants you all to see!
Assallammualaikum,
Kenapa lari..kenapa takut nak berdepan dengan press? Awak selama ni suka buat statment depan press skarang kenapa takut dan malu? Kes dulu lepas pasal tak kukuh kan, kes bertahun berlaku memang tak kukuh, kalau baru berlaku 3 hari, parah tu…..manusia ni macam ni lah, waktu senang hak Allah diabaikan, orang pijak agam kita, buat buta saja, orang pertikaikan azan awak buat pekak, so bila ada masalah baru nak Ingat Allah lah ya…..Semua yang berlaku ni kerana Izin Allah maka ia berlaku…pasti ada hikmahnya…ambil lah iktibar…wassallam.
I hope this guy should stand for his innocence just like Tun Dr. Mahathir wanted his day in Court. Be brave Anwar and don’t chicken out OK?
Kepimpinan politik negara kita daripada PM, TPM, Menteri, MB, KM, Exco baik dari parti Kerajaan mahupun pembangkang dan macai-macai mereka kini sedang sibuk. Sibuk mempertahankan diri mereka masing-masing daripada segala macam masalah dan tragedi politik.
Sedangkan mereka sepatutnya mempertahan dan memperjuangkan nasib rakyat ketika kita sedang berhadapan dengan masalah-masalah berbangkit akibat daripada kenaikan harga minyak.
Saya tidak puas hati. Mereka tidak melaksanakan amanah yang diberikan oleh rakyat kepada mereka. Wakil rakyat kita makan gaji buta!!
Tidak sedar diri dan memalukan negara. Malaysia would be better wihout all of you.

I agree with you gentlemen that DSAI should be standing his ground and fight this allegation IF he is really and truly innocent of this charge!
He may be fearing for his life and hiding out in the Turkish Embassy but as a Muslim he must also know that if Malaikatul Maut is due to come invite him back to Rahmatullah, there is none that can save him?
I believe in Takdirullah and am a bit perplexed why someone with his Islamic background needs to fear death?
‘Qullu nafsin iza iqatul maut!’
I mean if there is no base for this sodomy charge, then Anwar should be more than brave to defend himself and fight for his honor?
‘Berani kerana benar’ comes to mind.
‘Takut jika bersalah’..
Anyway, it’s easy for us to speak and speculate, it’s not ourselves who are being threatened of being assassinated?
At the end of the day, whatever is to be will be by the Will of Allah!
Let’s just take this as it unfolds.
Nostradamus Quatrains on “Wag the Dog”
In the month named of a Roman King
The year of great games played by Greeks
Malaysie, a land where politikus battle
“Wag the Dog” the game is played
A man defamed twice over
Seeking restitution with Ottoman Kings
A plot being hatched as night awaits
Watch in trepidation by the man defamed
People in Malaysie cry in vain
Great turbulence and strife engulf
Lost is the fable of Mongolian assasins
Forgotten is the hatred of black oil curse
Men in power rule with joy
For winners, gold and lust awaits
Lost are the tales of greed and arrogance
Forgotten are the tales of men in chains
Little Napoleon kings jump in joy
For keeping the turf and rule once more
But alas, such is the game being played
The time to repent is so in vain
Stomach empty, spirit rise in men
Seeking justice for those in pain
A man of honor they seek within
To play a game of which to gain
Across the land, the people rose
Silence and patience is the game being played
Within the halls and corridors of fame
Man of honor win the game
