KUALA LUMPUR, December 16 – Muhammed Yusoff Rawther is prepared to take a polygraph test over his sexual assault allegation against PKR President Anwar Ibrahim.<\/p>\n

His lawyer Mohamed Haniff Khatri Abdulla said his client is willing and ready to take the test any time, date and venue should the police call for it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This was in order to assist police to conduct a fair, through and just investigation; according to the lawyer.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is nevertheless prepared to fully cooperate with the police to assist them in completing their investigation in a fair and conclusive manner.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is also aware that as in the case of other forensic tests, there is no special legal provision for the court to admit such a polygraph evidence but he believes that such a technology needs to be utilised in the investigation process to back his allegation,\u201d he said in a statement today.<\/p>\n

Police considering using polygraph test<\/strong><\/h5>\n

According to reports<\/a>, polygraph test was among the approaches to be considered by police in their probe into the allegations by Yusoff against Anwar.<\/p>\n

Yusoff gave his statement to Bukit Aman on Dec 9 and 10. Anwar gave his statement on Dec 12 on the sexual misconduct allegations followed by accompanying the police to his house in Bukit Segambut on the same day.<\/p>\n

Yusoff had made a press conference earlier this month, and a statutory declaration<\/a> was released via social media alleging that he was sexually assaulted by Anwar on Oct 2, 2018.<\/p>\n

Anwar has strongly denied the sexual misconduct allegation, calling it a baseless slander and\u00a0a ploy to tarnish his image\u00a0ahead the power transition process.<\/p>\n
