The political secretary of Anwar Ibrahim has urged Mohamed Azmin Ali to resign from the government if several gay sex videos implicating the economic affairs minister are proven to be genuine.
“Azmin must quit if he is guilty,” he was quoted as saying.
Farhash Wafa Salvador Rizal Mubarak also urged the PKR deputy president to take legal action against Muhammad Haziq Aziz following his allegation that he had sex with Azmin.
“Let the police investigate, but if it is proven that he is the person in the video, I feel he should resign,” he told FMT.
Farhash, who describes Azmin a “friend and comrade”, said he felt sorry for him but hit out at those who he said were trying to involve him in the controversy.
On whether Azmin should swear his innocence on the Quran, he said he didn’t know.
“It’s up to Azmin, but I feel this issue is getting bigger by the day, so I feel he should do something.”
He did not want to comment on whether the video clips were the work of a party insider, saying that is something for the police to determine.
He said the people wanted to know whether it was Azmin in the videos and that it was better to let the authorities do their job instead of complicating matters.
