No Twitter, Facebook entry copies from Anwar

KUALA LUMPUR: It is almost a week since Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said his officers would issue copies of time-stamped entries he had made in Facebook and Twitter.
This was to show that he was updating both at the time the alleged sex video of him was recorded.

Yet, his officers have released nothing.


Anwar said he would do so hours after "Datuk T" had shown the video to several journalists. He said the entries would show that he was not the man in the video having sex with a woman of East Asian origin.

He said he was at home at the time of the recording -- between 10.23am and 10.45pm on Feb 21 -- and his proof was that he had updated his Twitter and Facebook accounts.

But the opposition leader's alibi was challenged the next day when China Press published a story stating otherwise.


A reporter from the daily, who helped in the translation of the Chinese-language daily, said its report found proof to refute Anwar's claims. She said a reporter found no tweets or Facebook updates made by Anwar during the alleged time.

Checks by the newspaper on Anwar's Twitter account on that same date found only two tweets at 9.20pm and 11.39pm. Checks on Anwar's Facebook fan page showed the nearest entries at 10.40pm and 10.49pm.

With these, the daily said it doubted Anwar's claim.
