malaysianinsiderKUALA LUMPUR, July 24 — Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim will have to wait till Sept 2, exactly 11 years after being sacked as deputy prime minister, to learn whether he is successful in beating off his second sodomy charge in a decade.
The High Court today fixed the date to hear his bid to strike out the sodomy complaint by his former male aide Saiful Bukhari Azlan made in June 2008.
The court will also then decide on trial dates if the case continues.
The case suffered another delay after the court allowed prosecutors a stay of a decision to allow the defence access to more evidence.
The stay is pending an appeal filed at the Court of Appeal.
