Court dismisses Anwar’s application to remove remarks implying homosexual tendencies

PUTRAJAYA: The Federal Court here dismissed an application by Opposition Leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim (pic) to expunge part of the remarks in the majority judgment delivered by the then Federal Court judge Justice Abdul Hamid Mohamad on Sept 2, 2004, which implied that he had homosexual tendencies.

Justice Tan Sri Zulkefli Ahmad Makinudin who chaired the five-man panel unanimously rejected Anwar's review application on grounds that the majority judgment accepted that the sexual incident forming the crux of the change did in fact occur but were doubtful as to when it in fact took place.
