PKR's Mohamed Azmin Ali and Umno's Hishammuddin Hussein, along with their families, are holidaying in Morocco. This photo, tweeted by Azmin's son, comes after the PKR No. 2 was publicly rebuked by president Anwar Ibrahim for questioning party appointments. – Twitter pic, December 30, 2018.

A PHOTOGRAPH of Mohamed Azmin Ali and Hishammuddin Hussein’s families on holiday in Morocco is bound to set tongues wagging.

PKR deputy president Azmin’s eldest son, Ameer, shared the photo on Twitter, with the caption “Our families reunited”. Both his father and Umno leader Hishammuddin are tagged in the post.

In the picture, the families are all smiles, with Azmin and Hishammuddin posing with their hands clasped.

The post comes after Azmin was publicly rebuked by PKR president Anwar Ibrahim for questioning party appointments.

Things do not appear to be well between Azmin and Anwar, with the latter appointing Rafizi Ramli – who had challenged Azmin for the deputy presidency in the last party polls – and Saifuddin Nasution Ismail to the central leadership council.

Azmin, arguing that some of those appointed by Anwar had caused major rifts in PKR during the party elections and were rejected by the people, said they were given a “back-door entry” into the council.

It is believed that he was referring to Rafizi, who was appointed by Anwar as vice-president despite losing the race for the deputy presidency, and Saifuddin, who was reappointed as secretary-general.

Ameer, too, has questioned Anwar on whether the PKR president would have appointed his father as vice-president if he had lost the No. 2 post to Rafizi.

“Of course Azmin would decline because he would be a gentleman loser, unlike sore loser @rafiziramli,” he tweeted.

Azmin is also seen to be moving closer to Dr Mahathir Mohamad. During a recent trip to Mecca on umrah, he tweeted that he prayed for the prime minister’s well-being, but made no mention of his “mentor” Anwar.

Former Umno vice-president Hishammuddin has been accused of playing a role in the defection of leaders from the Barisan Nasional lynchpin to become independents, and supporting the leadership of Dr Mahathir.

Denying the claims, he said he is not working to stop Anwar from becoming the next prime minister. – December 30, 2018.

  • Hopefully the "working together" is aimed at New Malaysia agenda, for the happiness, peace, security and prosperity in health and wealth of all Malaysians and NOT "you scratch my back and i scratch yours" to avoid jail for the dirty and ugly politicians.

  • This is dangerous. He is so buddy buddy with Hishammuddin now...just like he was buddy buddy with Anwar before the fall out. This guy has a trust issue and he is our Economics Minister. How do we know he is not leaking government secrets to the opposition jeopardising our country. PM must investigate..the people cannot trust this guy now.

  • It's more than a holiday, as the "holiday" is a planned affair (not a co-incidental bumping into each other) and there's more to it than meets the eye.
