OPINION  The Najib administration has spent a lot of effort, time and money through their controlled media to inform the public not to be taken in by the lies that are spread by bloggers, especially news blog Malaysia Today's editor Raja Petra Kamarudin.

The DPP's affair with Saiful came to light via RPK's article and as far as we know, no other media or person has come forward with this allegation prior to RPK's report in Malaysia Today.

There are tonnes of allegations against Najib, Rosmah, Umno, PDRM and many other leaders reported in Malaysia Today but they are all brushed off as lies and the AG would not even be bothered to look into any of them.

But why has the AG suddenly taken interest in RPK's "lies" regarding the DPP's affair with Saiful? Based only on RPK's allegation of the affair, DPP Farah Azlina Latif has been removed from the prosecution team in Anwar Ibrahim's current sodomy II trial. Does it not look kind of awkward that the AG now believes in RPK's "cooked-up" story?.

This is my theory of what this fuss is all about.

Najib is in a bind over Anwar's sodomy II case. To convict Anwar and send him to complete his remaining life in prison will have a very great impact on Najib's future. Najib knows that 70% of those following the case do not believe that the trial is fair nor the charges against Anwar true.

The ongoing trial is leading nowhere, yet the judges are bent on seeing that Anwar is sent to prison. Najib wants to stop this sham trial before it hurts him further but there is no way to put off the trial now.

In order to stop this sham trial, they have to create something to show a cause for a mistrial or throw sodomy II out completely.

What better way then to have the witness seen as having an affair with the DPP in the prosecution team. Saiful and the DPP may have got attracted to each other and this is seen as an opportunity to create a scene that both are having affair. (They may or may not actually have had an affair) Both parties must have agreed to allow this kind of story to leak out after heavy bargaining for whatever they wanted.

It is not hard for this story to be leaked out to RPK for him to release through his popular blog. RPK has all kinds of sources and some of them may be double agents working for both sides. (Sorry, RPK this is only my theory).

Najib wanted out, so this is the best way to do it.

We will have the answer when the trial continues on Aug 2 and from there we will get a clear picture on two things.

1) Should the defendant apply for a mistrial and the case thrown out, we can be 99% sure that Anwar will be sent to jail.

2) If my theory is somehow right, along the way, the case will be dismissed. Of course, it will not be immediate, the judges will drag on for sometime before they act on it.
