In a surprise end, the High Court today acquitted Anwar Ibrahim of a charge of sodomising his former male aide Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan after a two-year trial. Judge Mohd Zabidin Mohd Diah ruled that the prosecution had not done enough to prove Anwar had committed sodomy against Saiful and the judge even saying that DNA samples could have been compromised.
I am pleasantly surprised that things turn out Anwar's way. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it stays that way.
Anwar has suffered enough! But whichever way the verdict goes, UMNO-BN is bound to lose. If Anwar is found guilty and jailed, he will become a rallying point in the fight for human rights. If he is freed, he will be able to galvanize the opposition to defeat UMNO-BN. Anwar is now to be feared.
Anthony Stokes' hat-trick ensured that Celtic progressed to the fifth round of the Scottish Cup at the expense of hard-working Peterhead – the former won 3-0.
Stokes tapped in when strike partner Georgios Samaras set him up in front of goal after 36 minutes. He then fired his second on the turn after 57 minutes and drilled the third (82) to finish off Parkhead who are sitting second-bottom of Division Three.
