KUALA LUMPUR, March 28 (Bernama) -- The ''Datuk T'' trio, who exposed the sex
video involving a man resembling an opposition leader, will be protected under
the Witness Protection Act and Whistleblower Act should the authorities feel
they have a case.
Minister in the Prime Minister''s Department Datuk Seri Mohamed Nazri Abdul
Aziz said the Acts could be used to protect the three individuals involved in
making the video public.
"However, both Acts need not be used at the moment as no party has been
prosecuted and the case is still under police investigation," he told reporters
at the Parliament lobby today, when asked to comment on protection laws
available to the three.
Former Melaka chief minister Tan Sri Abdul Rahim Thamby Chik, businessman
Datuk Shazryl Eskay Abdullah and Pertubuhan Pribumi Perkasa Malaysia (Perkasa)
treasurer Datuk Shuib Lazim, have admitted that they were part of the Datuk T
trio responsible for keeping and screening the video to members of the media at
Carcosa Seri Negara last week.
Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) advisor Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has denied that
he was the man in the video and lodged a police report on the matter.
Following the revelation, the individuals also came forward for
interrogation by Bukit Aman police and handed over the video and an Omega watch
as proof.
Nazri said the matter did not only revolve around the law but also involved
morals.
