WITH VIDEO No doubt about it. Prime Minister Najib Razak and his Umno party are back to using sex for their campaign to bring down Pakatan Rakyat leaders, this time against PAS deputy president Mat Sabu.
Upset that their other plan to tarnish the PAS No. 2 by accusing him of being a 'communist lover' was boomeranging to the extent that top Umno leaders have to deny that Malaya was ever a British colony, Umno strategists have been hunting high and low for the next 'scandal' to pin onto Sabu.
Umno watchers have been whispering about Mat Sabu the past few days, alluding to his khalwat or close proximity case from which he has already been cleared, and pointing to another discovery - an audio tape of him allegedly having 'phone sex' with a woman by the name of Normah Halim.
“I don't know, I have not heard of it. I haven't even seen the Chua Soi Lek video,” Mat Sabu told a press conference on Wednesday.
Another Umno farce
The tape contains the audio excerpt and a video presentation on Mat Sabu's background alleging the sex-conversation had taken place in 1994. That was also the year that Mat Sabu was charged for close proximity at a hotel with one Norma Abdul Halim. This has awakened the suspicions of PAS insiders.
"It is Umno playing the fool as usual. You look at the names, they want to make it seem like it was the lady who was wrongly charged and acquitted but just in case she denies it, they put in a differently spelt name so as to be able to insinuate that it is another lady after all," an irate Mat Ssabu supporter told Malaysia Chronicle.
"Where can be so coincidental, but this is Umno. It is just like the Jais-DUMC videotape and the Datuk T sex video which were very sloppy. You can imagine them getting someone to mimic Sabu's voice and taping it. Only they can do such things."
Same minefields as Anwar
Both Mat Sabu and Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim are charismatic orators with strong grassroots support. Not surprisingly, Anwar has been the focus of a sodomy and sex video case imputed against him by Najib's government.
Pundits say Sabu will face the same minefields as Anwar, given Umno's "unimaginativeness". Indeed, the Umno grapevine is thick with talk of more sex-plots in the pipeline to try and tarnish Sabu. - Malaysia Chronicle
