PUTRAJAYA: Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad today claimed he knew nothing of a homosexual video clip circulating on social media allegedly featuring a member of his Cabinet.

According to the Malay Mail Online, series of short videos lasting roughly 1.34-minutes have been making the rounds on social media. The clips show two men, one who resembles a minister in the current administration, getting intimate with each other.
A Singaporean based portal claimed the Prime Minister told reporters to “brief me about it”
The portal read:
“While Malaysiakini is unable to establish the authenticity of the video clip, a person named ‘Faizal’ added Malaysiakini staff and several notable Sabah People’s Justice Party (Malay: Parti Keadilan Rakyat /PKR) leaders as group participants.
“Another WhatsApp group was initiated by ‘Saifuddin Abdullah’. This group had participants who were mainly journalists.
“Malaysia’s Foreign Affairs Minister Saifuddin Abdullah, who is also a PKR member, stressed that he was not behind the Whatsapp group.
“He told the media, “The said person is masquerading around in the WhatsApp groups and we will let the authorities investigate this matter”.
“Another sex video circulating in 2011 was linked to then-opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
“The latter denied that he was the man in the Feb 21 sex video revealed to journalists earlier Monday.
“I sternly deny this scurrilous attack”, he said, adding that he was at home with PKR staff, his wife, children, grandchildren and tweeting on that day and at that time.”
