KITA Pesident Datuk Zaid Ibrahim Urging the Police to be professional and focused ! - By SHAILA KOSHY

Zaid: Reveal sex video probe results....KUALA LUMPUR: Police should only be concerned about whether the sex video of a man said to resemble Opposition Leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim is genuine or not and not the political implications behind its disclosure.

“This issue of the video has been going on for too long. A lot has been said about it,” said Kita president Datuk Zaid Ibrahim.

“Without a definitive closure it will continue to attract more speculation, more scepticism, more unanswered questions,” he said.

Zaid was responding to Deputy Inspector-General of Police Datuk Khalid Abu Bakar's statement that police had identified the man in the video but would not disclose his identity for now.

Zaid asked why the police seemed reluctant to answer the obvious questions was the tape genuine and was the person Anwar when the answers would “put an end to this saga from their perspective”.

Urging them to be professional and focused, Zaid said: “It's not for them to weigh in the political implications of the disclosure or to decide who will look good and who will look bad out of this episode. The politicians and the voters will take care of this.”

He warned that if the police continued to vacillate or decide not to disclose the results of their investigation, more speculation would surface and this time more people would be convinced that the police were playing politics.
