Recent reports of a plastic surgeon 'slapping' a patient raises more questions than answers. Unfortunately, the verdict has been passed and the execution swift with the immediate suspension of this surgeon.

I have come to realise that higher authorities in Malaysia tend not to defend the integrity of their staff but instead succumb to pressures from the blood-thirsty press. Rather than allowing for a proper investigation to be conducted, suspension only translates to admission of guilt.

Conversations with individuals with direct contact with this surgeon reveals a mild mannered and hardworking surgeon in a field that requires years of rigorous training. Circumstances surrounding this 'slapping' incident remains iffy.

In the event that this surgeon is absolved from these accusations, damage has been done. Another precious resource is lost as a result of an over zealous administration who usually act only at the spinal level!

The plot thickens as Malaysians are coyed into believing that Anwar is indeed a homosexual maniac. The story being presented to the public is filled with absurdities and one wonders why the Solicitor General even bothered to proceed with prosecution.

Now it appears that Anwar is charged under Section 377B which does not elaborate on whether the offence was consented or otherwise, all this when there is a provision under Section 377C to charge Anwar for committing carnal intercourse against the course of nature without consent. So if this act was consented, what was the motive of Saiful's accusation?

Saiful's trips to the DPM's office before the allegations surfaced for allegedly requesting for a scholarship is ludicrious. For someone with such poor university scores, going to the DPM's office for a scholarship is hardly a sound move. Rather than throwing out such an inappropriate request, the staff had the audacity to pose for photographs with this individual. Who is Saiful, a poor student, that he dares to circumvent normal procedures for requesting for a government scholarship?

The first medical report showed no evidence of sodomy. As a medical doctor, if an object has been forcibly inserted against one's will, damage to the anal canal will be apparent with tears and abrasions. Even consented anal intercourse will reveal such tears or at least previous scars. It does not take a gastroenterologist to recognise these damages and with 30 years of experience, Dr Osman is certainly competent enough to recognise them. So why was there a huge discrepancy between the medical report at Pusrawi and HKL? Who were the doctors that assessed Saiful at HKL and what are their credentials?

Saiful's demeanor during the initial press conferences to announce this sexual allegation was inconsistent with someone who was severely traumatised by such an act. He was confident and appeared proudly elated that he had gathered the courage to report on Anwar. Victims of sexual crimes are usually reclusive and the feelings of being violated is severely depressing.

The sodomy allegation should remain between Saiful and Anwar. Unfortunately the amount of press commentaries especially from Badawi and his government, who appear to have detailed knowledge of police investigations, is enough evidence of the presence of political interferences. The Attorney General or Solicitor General, despite being elected by the Executive, represents the people of Malaysia and not the PM. Unfortunately, the impression from press statements is that the AG or SG is actually answerable directly to the PM.

Any sane individual will attest to this shambolic court drama. It will be a fatal error to undermine the intelligence of the Malaysian public.

The Anwar saga never fail to facinate me. Current sodomy charges against him by Saiful, a former aide is fraught with gross inconsistencies.

Forced sodomy between Anwar and Saiful is almost physically impossible. With Saiful being physically stronger than Anwar, who happens to suffer from a troublesome back, the act of unconsented sodomy is clearly not doable. Even the act of sodomy requires co-operation from two consenting adults. This allegation is thus flawed.

Saiful who was purportedly a student leader, scoring poorly in a university exam is enough motive to frame a prominent figure for political mileage . Moreover running to the DPM for a scholarship with such poor scores makes the story suspicious. He has everything to gain with this saga.

Even the press statements from BN politicians, confirms our fears that this allegation is politically motivated. Their access to the police files indicate possible interference. The police chief too is hardly neutral.

Anwar will be guilty . Few will bet against it. BN cannot risk having Anwar back in Parliament. Unlimited access to MPs risk the much hyped crossovers. BN cannot allow that to happen, not after so much has been lost. a PR federal government will certainly expose more than just incompetencies.
