Apa pasallah portal-portal Bahasa Melayu masih masih belum keudarakan berita ini.
Siapa lah agaknya saksi-saksi tersebut ye???
Tapi macam yang penulis pernah cakap... Jemaah yang bersolat bersama-sama DSAI adalah saksi-saksi yang paling ampuh untuk menolak pendapat-pendapat pakar DSAI bahawa beliau tidak boleh membongkok...
Jemaah solat Jumaat??? Solat hajat Pakatan maupun Wan Azizah, anak-anak serta rakan dan taulan DSAI sendiri mungkin perlu disepina.
Tak pernah pulak nampak beliau solat bawak kerusi...
