Azmin’s aide slams media reports on ‘threats’ over DPM post - superadmin - 08-25-2021 PETALING JAYA: An aide to Azmin Ali has refuted reports suggesting that the former senior minister may retract his support for Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob if he is not named deputy prime minister. Muhammad Hilman Idham said news reports by Free Malaysia Today and Malaysiakini were an attempt to split the coalition that was backing Ismail and to destabilise Perikatan Nasional (PN). Earlier today, in an article titled “Fears over confidence vote may swing DPM post to Azmin”, FMT reported that Bersatu and Umno leaders feared that Azmin might not back Ismail during a motion of confidence in the Dewan Rakyat if he was not appointed the country’s number two. According to a source, if “Azmin does not get his way, he and his gang will most probably become independent candidates”. - More -
