Cybersecurity Malaysia has confirmed that the sex video implicating Economic Affairs Minister Azmin Ali is authentic, according to Inspector-General of Police Abdul Hamid Bador.

However, Hamid said, the agency could not ascertain the identities of the two men recorded engaging in sexual acts.

“The video, who are those in the video are not within my jurisdiction. So we sent it to Cybersecurity to determine if the video is authentic and if Cybersecurity can ascertain who are in it.

“The answer we received... They (Cybersecurity) said 'authentic' (tulen) but they cannot be 100 percent certain who are 'pelaku-pelaku' (those in the video).

“I, as the IGP, cannot simply make statements based on this because it becomes a subject in court proceedings if the matter is brought to justice,” Hamid told RTM's Bicara Politikonomi last night.
