Opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim always claims to be a victim of conspiracy whenever unfavourable allegations against him surface, said Senator Datuk S. Nallakaruppan.
The Malaysian Indian United Party president alleged that playing the victim was Anwar's way of gaining public sympathy.
He said another of Anwar's tactics was to use legal action as an intimidation tool.
He cited Anwar's RM10mil suit against Deputy Plantation Industries and Commodities Minister Datuk Hamzah Zainuddin over a “wife-harassment” issue.
Nallakaruppan pointed out that despite taking Hamzah to court, Anwar failed to turn up for the first day of trial on Monday morning, resulting in an adjournment of the case until May.
“For Anwar, suing is a form of strategic denial. This is a good tactic to gain trust and convince the people that he didn't do all those things,” he told reporters here yesterday.
The senator, who said he was once very close to Anwar and his family, described the PKR adviser as “trying to destroy the country”.
“His personal ambition is so overriding that he doesn't care if it will be at the expense of the country's peace and stability,” he claimed.
Nallakaruppan expressed belief that Malaysians were now aware of Anwar's true character.
“He says everything is a conspiracy. But until today, has he admitted even one thing he has done? He can cheat all Malaysians but he cannot cheat me. I know him and his character very well,” he said.
He urged Anwar to apologise to the public and admit that there had been no conspiracy against him.
“Ask for forgiveness from them and stop cheating the rakyat,” he said.
