Be fair, Azmin is going through a hard time, says Anwar

KUALA LUMPUR: PKR president Anwar Ibrahim today sought to downplay the exchange between him and his deputy, saying Mohamed Azmin Ali is going through a difficult time.“He is going through a very difficult period. I think I would certainly not respond to some of his spontaneous outbursts.”

He said he was not upset over Azmin’s remarks, but that the economic affairs minister should have spoken in context as he had only suggested that Azmin resign if police investigations identify him as one of the men in several gay sex video clips which have gone viral.“I don’t think it’s fair to him either, in his position. He probably did not read the full text. You guys just prompted him with the question.

So far, nine people have been arrested under suspicion of distributing the clips, including former Santubong PKR Youth chief Haziq Aziz who openly admitted that he was one of two men shown in the videos. Haziq named Azmin as the other man, a claim rejected by the minister who pointed fingers at a conspiracy to end his political career.

Among those arrested was Perak PKR chief Farhash Wafa Salvador Rizal Mubarak, seen as aligned with the “Anwar camp” in PKR.
