Transcript

00:00 I've been charged this morning with a criminal offence,

00:03 but no crime was committed by me and I will prove this in court.

00:08 The real crime is the coordinated plot to tarnish my husband's reputation

00:14 and exact political revenge and retribution against him and our family.

00:27 The real crime is the emasculation and manipulation of key national institutions

00:35 such as the MACC and the AGC as weapons in a political vendetta.

00:42 The real crime is the wielding of state power for personal ends

00:48 and not for the benefit of the people.

00:52 The real crime is targeting your political opponents with concorded charges

00:58 whilst to the outrage of an entire country, corruption charges are dropped against political cronies.

01:07 The real crime is vengefully pursuing old political rivals who hold no power now

01:16 with baseless charges whilst the economy stagnates, reforms are abandoned and the country forlorn.

01:25 But I am overwhelmed by the support we have from people,

01:32 many unknown to us for their concern and solidarity since last night

01:38 when the news broke that I would be charged.

01:41 I thank you and I have faith I will be vindicated at the end of all this.

01:47 Finally, I say this to you Anwar Ibrahim,

01:51 that power is brief and there is always reckoning for those who abuse it.

01:58 As the bard whom you often quote says,

02:02 "Men, proud men, dress in a little brief authority, the rest you know."

02:09 Why is there a message for Anwar Ibrahim?

02:12 Well, I think it's obvious. Thank you very much.
