May 28, 2020 11:55 AMPETALING JAYA: The former research assistant of Anwar Ibrahim who accused the PKR leader and his aide of criminal acts in separate police reports is frustrated by the continued delay by the authorities on the outcome of investigations into the cases.
Yusoff was summoned on Feb 20 by Petaling Jaya police to give a statement. About a week later, however, then-attorney-general Tommy Thomas resigned, saying he would not remain in office as PH, which appointed him, was no longer in power. Yusoff, who is the grandson of late Penang consumer activist SM Mohamed Idris, also filed a civil suit against Farhash in September, seeking compensation for his injuries.
He said he had written to Idrus and law minister Takiyuddin Hassan earlier this month, seeking to reopen the assault case as well as re-visit the sexual assault case involving Anwar. In his letter to Idrus, Yusoff said he was baffled by the decision, adding that his case was no different from similar cases involving prominent personalities such as film producer Harvey Wienstein and comedian Bill Cosby.“In all these cases, the evidence was only testimonies from witnesses on which the accused was convicted.
