Syed Hamid wants cops to act fast as new claims flood cyberspace

KUALA LUMPUR: Police should wrap up investigations into the latest allegations of sodomy against Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim as soon as possible, said Home Minister Datuk Seri Syed Hamid Albar.

He said in an interview with Reuters that in any criminal case, the faster a case was completed, the better it would be.

Meanwhile, a copy of a medical report purportedly that of Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan, who accused Anwar of sodomy, has been posted on several websites.

The report claimed that there was no indication that Mohd Saiful had been sodomised.

It also alleged that the doctor who checked Mohd Saiful had been arrested, a claim which police have denied.

Health Minister Datuk Liow Tiong Lai has instructed Health director-general Tan Sri Dr Ismail Merican to look into the case and ensure that professionalism was maintained.
