Following the report, police conducted an investigation and the investigation papers submitted to the Attorney-General’s Chambers, before the Attorney-General ordered for further investigation, he said in a written reply to a question by Hee Loy Sian (PKR-Petaling Jaya Selatan) in Parliament Tuesday.
Hee wanted to know the rationale Dr Chua was not charged in court.
Hishammuddin said the case was investigated under Section 292/509 of the Penal Code.
In January 2008, Dr Chua resigned from his cabinet post and as MCA vice-president after admitting that the man in the sex video was him.
Malaysia's top cop has revealed that the sex video which purportedly shows Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim having sex with a female prostitute was not 'doctored', drawing criticism that he was trying to help Prime Minister Najib Razak's administration turn tide of public sentiment against Anwar as the Sarawak election got into full swing.
"What the IGP has said is nothing shocking. It can easily be guessed because last week itself, Najib in his clumsy fashion aready gave their game away when he urged Malaysians to judge not Umno'role in the sex conspiracy against Anwar but whether the tape had been doctored," PKR dirctor for communitcations Nik Nazmi told Malaysia Chronicle.
"Najib's comments are not commensurate with the intelligence that a Prime Minister of a nation should have. What we have been saying is, does it matter whether the tape is authentic or not? What matters is whether the man inside the tape is Anwar or not? It is grossly unfair for the IGP to make such a statement that contains half the truth. This is another terrible slander against Anwar and it will continue to backfire."
Ismail Omar, the Inspector General of Police, had told national new agency Bernama that local experts had come to the conclusion after examining the 21-minute clip.
Aimed to sway the middle ground
The video surfaced last month soon after Sarawak Chief Minister Taib Mahmud had dissolved the state assembly to pave way for the much-anticipated polls. While the BN is expected to retain power, Anwar's Pakatan Rakyat is expected to hammer through an electoral beating that will shake public confidence in Najib and his team.
"Yes this is very much tied to the Sarawak state election. It is of course a smear campaign against Anwar but those who believe in his innocence will take the IGP's comments as further proof of the Umno conspiracy. For those who hate Anwar, they will continue to tarnish him and for those in the middle ground, this is meant to turn them against the Pakatan," PAS MP for Kota Raja Siti Mariah Mahmud told Malaysia Chronicle.
Three men calling themselves the Datuk T trio - namely former Malacca chief minister Rahim Thamby Chik, businessman Shazryl Eskay and Perkasa treasurer Shuaib Lazim - have confessed to 'discovering' the video which is believed to have been shot at a hotel room in Thailand using four cameras.
Instead of handing over the tape to the police, they took it upon themselves to book a conference suite at swanky Carcosa Seri Negara Hotel and invited reporters and senior editors to watch the clip.
They insisted on anonymity but quick checks by Anwar's supporters revealed that Rahim, who is Risda chairman, had booked the room through the government agency, while Shuaib paid the bill. The men were forced to make a public confession.
The trio have claimed that their objective was to expose Anwar's immorality so that Malaysians would not be duped by him.
Meanwhile, they had also invited several PKR MPs to watch the tape. PKR MP for Sungai Petani Johari Abdul was the first to expose them. Johari has also said it was 100 per cent confirmed the man was not Anwar, adding that it could be Shazryl who bears a distinct facial resemblance to the Opposition Leader.
The Sungai Petani MP also said Rahim had asked him to leave PKR after showing him the tape, and also offerd him 'financial security' if he did so.
Another PKR leaders is Badrul Hisham Shaharin, who was also shown the tape and asked to defect. He too has said it was not Anwar.
Despite the massive effort by the Umno elite, which also roped the mainstream media into their conspiracy against Anwar, the de-facto Pakatan and PKR chief has been riding on a wave of popular support.
The perceived injustice against him drew a crowd of 30,000 to the Shah Alam stadium last week to pray for him and condemn Najib for slandering him.
A new study from University of Puget Sound explains why contrary to most cases, femalelizards of Arizona's south-eastern mountains are more colourful than males.
The female striped plateau lizards are more colourful than males – displaying an orange patch on their throats during reproductive season – and the more colourful the female, the more robust are her offspring.
"In the female striped plateau lizard the orange-coloured patches they develop during the reproductive season are based on pterin pigments, not on carotenoids, so this trade-off between ornaments and eggs may be eliminated," said Stacey Weiss.
The study shows that the more colourful the lizard, the more yolk antioxidants there are in her eggs.
"Thus, in S. virgatus, female ornaments may advertise egg quality. In addition these data suggest that more-ornamented females may produce higher-quality offspring, in part because their eggs contain more antioxidants," said Weiss.
The colouration also suggests that more colourful females produce healthier eggs and attract more and/or higher-quality male mates, ultimately producing high-quality offspring.
The study is published in the British Ecological Society's Journal of Animal Ecology .
This summer, Playboy king Hugh Hefner, 84, will be tying the knot with his fiancée Crystal Harris. Many celebs and ordinary people are finding love later in life. Actor Marcia Cross got married at 44, while news maven Diane Sawyer was 43 when she tied the knot. Is age just a number when it comes to finding love? Says Kishwar Desai, who married economist Meghnad at 47, "Falling in love is not something you plan. Yet, I know so many young and beautiful people who are unable to find love or even the right partner. Age, in fact, gives you the wisdom to value many things that make a relationship truly significant."
"I was very lucky to have met Meghnad, quite by accident, editing his book on Dilip Kumar. I was 47-year-old, well-settled in Delhi, till Meghnad arrived, quite like a summer storm and completely unsettled my life! He was very sure that we could have a wonderful life together and said he had fallen in love with me. It was all during the heady conversations we were having that I realised what I had been missing my entire life — someone I could talk to, and share everything with. The important thing is, when you are older, you want your man to treat you as an equal partner and I found that Meghnad is a feminist who gives enormous respect to all women. This was and is very crucial for me. He has already achieved so much in his own life, he is a very relaxed man, who has no ego hassles. It was the start of a lovely romance, which we enjoy till today," adds Desai.
In her book, Find a Husband After 35 (Using What I Learned at Harvard Business School), dating coach Rachel Greenwald writes how the chances of getting married at 60 are still bright. "Your chances are as strong as the effort you put into meeting someone." Life coach Rajini Woodhouse says, "Age is no barrier for love. More people are walking out of their comfort zones and reaching out to find love." According to Psychology Today, simple things matter in love and marriage, rather than age. And grown-ups tying the knot have better chances of making happy marriages. Says Uma Trilok, author of Amrita-Imroz: A Love Story, "Love can happen anytime. We are witnessing a rise of marriages amongst the older age group as everyone wants to find a companion. Urban cities have increased the need to be with someone; being alone is lonely. Everyone craves for those bright moments of romance. Amrita Pritam was 42 when she met Imroz and fell in love. Kamala Das found her love at 65. People should keep their hearts open because love can happen anytime."
Experts say that older couples have less chances of getting divorced. Says Mumbaibased author Ahmed Faiyaz, "Our attitude towards marriage has changed. A couple of generations ago, a good proportion of young women went to college so that they could get an education that would help them get good proposals. Today, they study because they want to do their own thing and be successful. We've seen both men and women put off marriage because of their careers. Despite that, everyone has a choice to find their partners at any age and there are so many opportunities to meet like-minded people."
Older people are making their own rules. Mature love can be powerful and accepting. US-based author Maggie Scarf tells The Economist that older marriage is full of unexpected pleasures. "Older couples, compared to middle-aged couples, express lower levels of anger, disgust, belligerence and whining and higher levels of affection. Hence, they have more success in love."
Says Raksha Baradia, author of Me: A Handbook of Life, "There's no age for falling in love. Everyone has their own rules. When I go for a morning walk, I often see senior citizens over 70, complimenting graceful older women who also walk with them. Whenever the lady gets a compliment, she lowers her eyes. The attraction of the other sex never stops."
Psychiatrist Dr Avdesh Sharma agrees, "When people marry late, the emotional challenges are different. Yet, couples feel they can deal with the situation as the connection is stronger and they're confident. There's a realism in mid-life relationships that makes the success rate higher. There's nobody who wants to live alone forever." It's truly never too late to find love!
MALAYSIAN MINISTER OF HEALTH DR CHUA SOI LEK SEX TAPE DOWNLOAD
The DVDs are believed to be closed-circuit television (CCTV) recordings in a hotel suite. However, the hotel’s location and the date of the recording are not known.
The first DVD lasting 56 minutes has footage of four different camera angles of the hotel suite – the bed, living area, entrance to the bathroom and the main door. It purportedly shows Dr Chua Soi Lek and woman entering the room separately.
The second DVD lasting 44 minutes is said to show the couple engaged in sex acts on the bed.
Those who claim to have seen the two DVDs said they were convinced the man in the DVDs was the prominent politician based on his gait and mannerisms. The existence of the DVD was first reported in the Chinese dailies on Sunday while a Bahasa Malaysia daily reported about it.
News of the two DVDs are also being circulated widely on the Internet, adding to the controversy. Sources said the lurid DVDs were now difficult to obtain, as those holding them fear that the police would act against those distributing and being in possession of the DVDs.
The DVDs, with the name of the politician on them, were first reportedly left at various locations in Muar on Saturday for people to pick up. Some copies were also said to be distributed to shops in the town.
To deter those who wanna bag in some bucks from Chua Soi Lek video, the Malaysian policehas warned:

Home Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein said Dr Chua lodged a police report after being informed by a colleague on the distribution of envelopes containing two DVDs in several areas in Batu Pahat, Johor, which was intended to smear his image.
Following the report, police conducted an investigation and the investigation papers submitted to the Attorney-General’s Chambers, before the Attorney-General ordered for further investigation, he said in a written reply to a question by Hee Loy Sian (PKR-Petaling Jaya Selatan) in Parliament Tuesday.
Hee wanted to know the rationale Dr Chua was not charged in court.
