(Bernama) - After representing Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim in his corruption case in 1998, counsel Raja Aziz Addruse has once again been appointed by Anwar to lead the defence team in his second sodomy trial.

Raja Aziz, who was a former Bar Council president, would replace prominent lawyer Sulaiman Abdullah, who had excused himself due to health reasons on July 15.Solicitor for Anwar, SN Nair said in a statement today that Raja Aziz, in the new legal team, would be assisted by Datuk Param Cumaraswamy, Karpal Singh, Datuk CV Prabakharan and himself (Nair).

"In making this announcement, our client, his wife and his family would like to express their deepest and most sincere gratitude to Sulaiman for having rendered exemplary services to our client and would like to wish him all the best," Nair said.

In the previous legal team, Sulaiman had been assisted by Nair, Leela Jesuthasan, Edmund Bon, Saiful Idham Ramli, Amer Hamzah Arshad, Latheefa Koya and Mohd Radzlan Jalaludin.Anwar, 62, is accused of sodomising his former aide Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan, 24, at a condominium in Bukit Damansara here on June 26, last year.

The Criminal High Court has set Sept 2 for mention of the sodomy case. The court had initially set July 1 for the hearing but postponed it to facilitate the applications filed by Anwar.

MUHYIDDIN : CORRUPTION ALLEGATIONS DON'T SCARE ME.

Muhyiddin: Corruption allegations don’t scare me.
The Malaysian Insider, 18 August 2009

Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin dismissed a corruption complaint filed by PKR over his use of a military helicopter to attend Umno meetings in Sabah.

The deputy Umno president did not, however, offer any explanation as to why he used a military helicopter to fulfill his party duties.“It (the allegations) does not scare me at all. It is a blatant example of how short on ideas Pakatan (Rakyat) are that they have to start coming up with something like this,” he told reporters here today when asked to comment on PKR’s recent allegations of corruption against him.

Yesterday, PKR Youth leaders lodged a complaint against Muhyiddin with the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) over his alleged abuse of government property for personal use.This was first highlighted by the news agency Bernama when the DPM flew on a military helicopter to attend the Penampang UMNO division meeting in Sabah after he officiated another division party meeting in Kudat.

PKR Pantai Jerjak assemblyman Sim Tze Min, who lodged the report, said that the news coverage had clearly shown that Muhyiddin was abusing government property for a non-governmental purpose, which was tantamount to corruption.

However, the No.2 leader in the government appeared unfazed by the accusation.“These are views that they should just keep to themselves as they are purposely creating a lot of problems for people,” stated Muhyiddin.
