Abdullah leaves it to police to probe

Anwarfears for his life

difficulties for him (Anwar)since he has claimed he

made a political comeback inApril, said Abdullah, adding that itwas up to police to investigate andconclude if the claim was true or not.

He said he did not have anyknowledge about the matter and onlyheard about it from an SMS receivedon Saturday. The person involved hasmade a report. What else is there for

us to do? He has a right to lodge areport. We cant stop him from doingso. Leave it to the police. We dontmeddle. We dont do that, he saidyesterday morning after launching theGreen Earth programme.

Asked to comment on Anwarsclaim that it was a repeat of methodsused against him in 1998 when falseallegations were made under duress,and he was sacked as deputy prime

minister, Abdullah said it was notsomething which the governmentcould ascertain.

Of course he would make a denial.Thats normal. A person who is allegedwill make a denial. But if there is proof,it is up to the police to investigate.

Umno has never thought of dis-turbing him like this. BN also has neverthought of making his life difficult ormaking up something like this or doing

anything bad towards him. We donthave such intention. It never crossedmy mind to frame him. I believe myother colleagues, Datuk Seri Najib(Abdul Razak) or anyone, has neverthought about that, he said.

Asked if Anwar will be arrested,Abdullah said: All that I know is, areport has been made and the policewill decide what they want to do andhow they are going to investigate.
