More Rashomon
Another character appears in the Malaysian Rashomon within 24 hours after my last blog entry.
Yesterday, Hospital Kuala Lumpur director Dr Zaininah Mohd Zain came up in support of a New Straits Times story of unnamed source by stating that at no time was Anwar Ibrahim stripped naked when undergoing his medical examination related to alleged sodomy.
In response to Dr Zaininah's statement, Anwar insisted that there were specific instructions that doctors had followed including an "examination of private parts front and back" and that he refused only to have his nude photo and DNA sample taken. Quote Malaysian Insider:
"If ministers want to fitnah (slander), they should not ask their officers to do it for them," he said when addressing the denial of his undressing by the hospital's director. [...]
Indeed, recent developments have allowed him to add in one-liners (in his ceramahs) such as "instead of managing the economy, they're managing people's private parts."
The plot thickens before the picture, in cinematographic terms, fades to black.
Comments
I love these one-liners. I just read them instead of the long repeated stories from both sides even when all the sordid details have been told again and again.
