KUALA LUMPUR - Malaysian opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim said he is ready to face a prison sentence related to the alleged act of sodomy. But Anwar hoped that the sentence meted out to him would not harm the party's coalition ahead in election (election) next national.
Kuala Lumpur High Court may sentence him to 20 years imprisonment if convicted of sodomy against Anwar, a man who is a former aide.

Previously Saiful Bukhari Azlan recognition and DNA test results on the semen samples used as evidence in court has been burdensome Anwar position. But the evidence was denied by a lawyer Anwar said Saiful testimony often fickle and DNA tests had been manipulated.
Anwar said, he believes the government attempted to impose a coalition party in this case by bringing court proceedings against him to shape public opinion.
"Am I exempt or imprisoned, we must focus on elections and the people should decide. Make sure you come and be fully prepared to change the government in the next election," he added.
