Harakah: "Anwar sex video -- technical insights & rationale"

Kim Quek wrote the following piece in Harakah of March 28-31, 2010 issue: "There is one simple way to find out whether Dato T's pornographic video showing a lookalike of Anwar Ibrahim is a hoax, and that is to go Anwar's facebook and look for his entries at the time when the video was supposed to be recorded, which is 10:23pm to 10:45pm on Feb 21, 2011.

I just did that, and I found that Anwar made entries on that day at 10:40pm, 10:49pm, 10:50pm, for which he received 9 comments, 17 comments, 8 comments respectively. And thereafter, he made another 7 entries, up till 11.28pm. The fact that Anwar was posting messages in facebook at the relevant time clearly indicates that Anwar couldn't have been doing what was indicated in the video.

Purely on a technical level, another question that puzzled me was: How could so many acts be compressed into the purported duration of 22 minutes as indicated in the video? Journalists who had viewed the video said that the love-making part lasted 17 minutes. This means that within the remaining 5 minutes, the following events had to be completed: Pre-sex act... Post-sex act... It should be obvious that when one tallies up the reasonable time allowed for completing each of these events, the total will far exceed 5 minutes...

Dato T said that the sex video romp took place in a spa which provides sex in Kuala Lumpur.

Will anyone believe that Opposite Leader Anwar Ibrahim... would even condescend to walk into a place of such repute, where he would be instantly recognised by almost everyone present there, not to mention having sex with a prostitute in the same place?... "
