Anwar declines to reveal his source

PETALING JAYA: Parti Keadilan Rakyat de facto leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim declined to reveal the origins of the Lingam video clip during a two-hour interview by Anti-Corruption Agency officers yesterday.

Anwar told a press conference at his office that he was questioned by ACA officers on the particulars of the video footage and the sources who had disclosed it.

Only eight minutes of the 14-minute video clip have been made public so far. Keadilan has said the remainder has not been released to protect the sources.

“I am willing to come out in the open and co-operate with the ACA but I am very concerned about the personal security of the sources. The ACA said they were willing to protect the sources, but personal security is not within the ACA’s power, and we will not compromise on their personal safety,” Anwar said.

He said the sources, which he referred to as Mr X and Mr Y, were willing to come forward if they were assured of their personal security, and would reveal themselves “when the time is right".

Come one, what if the guy is dead when you reveal them?
