Malay sex scandal teaser put on YouTube

Petaling Jaya: A 'teaser' of the controversial sex video implicating an opposition leader has been loaded on popular social video site YouTube.

The one minute, 47 second clip shows a man in a towel and a woman in what appears to be a hotel room.

The video, viewed by local media two weeks ago, shows someone looking like the former deputy premier engaging in sex with a woman in what appeared to be a hotel room, according to a journalist who viewed the 17-minute tape.

Malaysia's police chief said Friday that experts have confirmed the authenticity of a sex tape showing a man allegedly resembling opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim,

Anwar, a former deputy premier who was sacked and jailed in 1998 on sodomy and corruption charges widely seen as politically motivated, said the tape was another "dirty and obscene" attempt to end his career.

He spent six years in prison but was released from jail in 2004 after the sodomy conviction was overturned.

The latest allegations emerged as Anwar undergoes a second sodomy trial, where a 25-year-old male former aide has accused the 63-year-old father of six of sodomising him at an upmarket Kuala Lumpur condominium in 2008.

If convicted, Anwar faces up to 20 years in prison.
