(The Star) KUALA LUMPUR: The doctor who examined Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan after the latter had lodged a police report alleging he had been sodomised by Opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has resurfaced to “set the record straight.”

Pusrawi Hospital’s Dr Mohamed Osman Abdul Hamid, reaffirmed statements he had made in a statutory declaration he had filed on June 28, saying that he had found no evidence of sodomy in his examination.

His statutory declaration was leaked to Malaysia Today and published in the news portal on July 28, after which the Myanmar national took one month’s leave from the hospital and apparently fled the country.

At a press conference at the Bar Council auditorium here on Thursday, Osman said he wanted to set the record straight and end media speculation.

He reaffirmed the contents of the statutory declaration.

Osman said he went on leave as he came under pressure following a police investigation into his medical check-up on Saiful, but dismissed claims that he was worried for his safety.

He also said that he did not know how his medical report, protected by patient-doctor confidentiality, became public.

Anwar, now MP of Permatang Pauh, has been charged with the offence. He has denied the allegations, claiming it was part of a political conspiracy against him.

Pusrawi earlier said it had sacked Dr Osman for failing to turn up for work after his one-month leave had expired.

When asked if he was still employed, Dr Osman merely said he "was going back to work."

Dr. Osman should be given citizenship and then be subsequently made either the DG of Health or the Health Minister.

Saiful, on the other hand, should have his citizenship revoked and be sent to Guantanamo Bay and thrown into a cell with 10 horny, hairy Talibans.

If anyone had any doubts whether or not these sodomy allegations and all the 'I swear' mumbo jumbo was a political ploy to stop Anwar, it's pretty damn clear now that it was a failed ploy as nobody in the gomen seems to be saying anything about it anymore since their big loss at PP.

Hats off to Dr Osman for sticking to his guns and not being intimidated into doing something against his will.

Saiful should publicly apologise and tell the truth that he had been literally socomised by Najis and gang. Najis had always lusted for Saiful doboer given that he had publicly stated in the recent Permatang Pauh election campaign that Saiful is a delectable morsel. If Saiful repents and seeks forgiveness from Tun Guru Nik Aziz, Sdr. Anwar and all the other true ulamas, he will be forgiven for being used as a political scape goat. I am sure Sdr. Anwar is a very noble muslim leader of international repute who will readily forgive anyone who sincerly bertaubat and comes back to the original path of Islam which is Truth, Unconditional Love and Compassion. All malaysians should understand that there in only one Islam and that Islam is that which has been advocated by Prophet Muhammad p.b.u.h. and that there is no such thing as Islam Hadhari.

If brave Dr. Osman is willing to take the stand and testify in court, it will be very, very difficult to convict DSAI.

Even if the evil DNA law is passed and DSAI is force to give his blood sample and the police plant it on Saiful's panties, DSAI still cannot be convicted.

Dr. Osman's testimony that Saiful was an 'anal virgin' at the time he examined the fool (I don't know if he is still) will acquit Anwar.

The evil DNA law says the court cannot question the DNA evidence, but Anwar's clever lawyers can argue that finding Anwar's (planted) DAN on Saiful's panties is no proof of penetration and they can call Dr. Osman to testify on Saiful's virginity.

Unless the police want to declare that DSAI's DNA was extracted from Saiful's arsehole, but this is difficult as Saiful waited 2 days before making the report. The police will have to convince the court that Saiful did not shit for 2-3 days.

So there's no case against DSAI. The police have better drop the charge unless they want to make a fool of themselves.

One question for everyone, to answer, especially the corrupted Malaysian govt....

Which of these two constitute A GREATER CRIME???

1. Leaking to the public a medical report thus breaking a medical confidentiality... OR

1. Keeping the report and the knowledge secret, and in doing so KNOWINGLY help propagate a crime of LIES which harmed a person, such as, the allegation of Sodomy of which is proven a lie, via the confidential medical report?

SO HOW WOULD YOU CHOOSE BETWEEN THE TWO ABOVE?

which is a greater crime?

Hoooi u lawyers, give me an answer, not a treatise... but just one number..

1 or 2?

It is professional like Dr Mohd Osman that keep up to the glorious medical profession. Dr Osman's conduct will put to shame the DG Merican who has degraded himself as a doctor and disgrace his professions.

I salute you for your honesty. Keep to your professional ethics. I will ask you to lie; I will not ask you to rush ill prepared bill to fix someone. All I ask is just be a good doctor that you are.

Since Saiful can surrender his ass without resistance then he cannot complain. There was no sign of injury or being forced upon so he must have gave in willingly without compulsion or threat. What he needs to do now is to ponder whether he wants to become a man or an *******.
