Sodomy II: Anwar’s defence questions existence of lubricant

PUTRAJAYA: The defence in Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim's appeal has questioned whether there was penetration in the alleged sodomy case, as Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan's testimony was inconsistent with regards to the existence of a commonly-used sexual lubricant.

Lawyer Datuk Seri Gopal Sri Ram, a former Federal Court judge, argued that according to the evidence from the complainant Mohd Saiful at the High Court, the act was vigorous and fast and he suffered pain in his anus and stomach.
