KUALA LUMPUR, March 23 — PKR Sungai Petani MP Datuk Johari Abdul suggested today that businessman Datuk Shazryl Eskay was the mysterious “Datuk T”, and that former Malacca chief minister Tan Sri Abdul Rahim Tamby Chik is among those behind the screening of a sex video allegedly featuring Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
Johari also accused the two men of attempting to entice him and other PKR MPs to defect after he had viewed the recording, which he said was of a person who only loosely resembled Anwar.
According to Johari, Abdul Rahim had also promised to bring him to see Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak after having viewed the sex video.
Anwar has already accused Najib of being directly involved with the screening of the sex video.
“Rahim told me he wanted to take me to see the prime minister, and that he would take care of all my financial and security needs, should I agree to jump ship.
“He tried to convince me to bring more Keadilan MPs to see him and lead this group to leave PKR,” said Johari.
The PKR MP said he was brought by his uncle, former Umno senator Datuk Shuib Lazim, to Flamingo Hotel in Ampang here on Monday afternoon, just hours after reporters watched the same video and met the mysterious “Datuk T.”
Shuib is also treasurer of Malay rights group Perkasa.
Today, Johari told a press conference that the arrangements for the Monday screening of the sex video at the Carcosa Seri Negara had been made by Abdul Rahim’s special officer.
At Flamingo Hotel, Johari said he was brought to a room where he met Shazryl (right) and Abdul Rahim.
Johari went through extreme lengths to describe in detail the video he had watched.
The former Umno politician said he was convinced the man in the video was not Anwar, after comparing physical attributes of the two.
Johari described the man in the video as having broader shoulders, larger buttocks, and lighter skin tone compared to Anwar’s smaller physique and darker skin. He also said it was impossible to accurately identify the person as the cameras had not zoomed in on the man’s face.
“I am convinced that the person is not Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim,” stated Johari.
After watching the video, Johari said he was asked by Abdul Rahim to arrange more screenings for other PKR MPs.
The lawmaker said he was also told by Shazryl that the latter was the primary protagonist behind the video.
“He told me that he was the main character, the person responsible for the video. He said he was the one who got hold of the video.
“Eskay commented on how the person in the video removed the condom after the sex act… he said this was the same thing that happened to boss (Anwar) in 1998,” added Johari.
Five PKR MPs along with Johari had agreed to meet Abdul Rahim and Shazryl on March 22 at the same hotel, but according to the MP, “no one showed up.”
Today, PKR secretary-general Saifuddin Nasution claimed the party had proof of Umno’s involvement in the scandal.
“Credit card payment for Carcosa (Seri) Negara was made by Rahim’s special officer, who is the deputy Umno Bukit Gantang chief,” he said.
Anwar, his wife and other Pakatan Rakyat lawmakers have since denied the authenticity of the clip.
Shazryl is currently embroiled in a suit over the procurement of the Malaysia-Singapore International Gateway bridge project — better known as the “crooked bridge”.
Shazryl had filed the suit in January 2002, claiming breach of contract by Merong Mahawangsa Sdn Bhd and Datuk Yahya A. Jalil for failing to pay him RM20 million after he procured the “crooked bridge” project for them.
