Eskay to take oath in Sentul mosque tomorrow
Businessman Shazryl Eskay Abdullah is willing to take an oath ( sumpah laknat ) to prove that he is telling the truth about the sex video allegedly involving Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim.
Businessman Shazryl Eskay Abdullah is willing to take an oath ( sumpah laknat ) to prove that he is telling the truth about the sex video allegedly involving Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim.
Announcing this at a press conference today, Eskay said he was ready to take the oath at a mosque in Sentul after Friday prayers tomorrow, and he invited Anwar to do so as well.
He said he would do so in anticipation of being charged in court the "next few weeks".
"There will be a series of press conferences before we will be charged in the next couple... perhaps next week," he said.
However, Eskay ( right ) refused to explain what he would be charged with and when he was arrested, other than that it was "that day... I was bailed out with RM10,000".
"We will have a series of press conferences after this. We will probably be charged in the next few weeks," he said.
Police have said that the trio can be charged with screening pornography.
Insisting on only answering questions on the oath, Eskay, who was accompanied by the other Datuk Ts - Rahim Thamby Chik and Shuib Lazim - said he would be the only one taking the oath, but that it "depends on the situation".
"We will see. I'm not a religious figure. Let the ulama decide. Whatever needs to be done, I'll be there.
"Many have asked us to take the oath, especially Utusan Malaysia , which made the statement two days ago, and many more, and we took the challenge," he said at the press conference which lasted about 12 minutes.
Rahim will not be taking the oath
Asked why Rahim (

) and Shuib would not be taking the oath as well, Rahim replied: "(Eskay) is doing it on our behalf."
Eskay said he was willing to take the oath even if Anwar did not show up.
Pressed about the second sex video clipping leaked on the Internet yesterday, Eskay insisted that he had nothing to do with it and that he believed "it was not through my friends".
Reading from a prepared statement, Eskay said he had taken the risk of screening the sex video to journalists on March 21 because “I am a Malaysian who loves my people and country”.
He added: "I was willing to take the risk to expose the leader I have known since 1996. He is seen as moral, honest and sincere in his political struggle, but the truth is the opposite.
"He is clever in pretending to be pious, religious and of good character when instead these kinds of acts go beyond the norms of sanity, let alone Islamic values."
Eskay added that the reason Datuk T chose to screen the video to journalists was because "we felt journalists would be more familiar with Anwar's physique, having seen (the latter) close-up".
