SENIOR minister Mohamed Azmin Ali appeared to have changed his mind over when the elections would be held, after previously stating that polls could arrive as early as this year.

In news reports today, he said that it was still a long way to go before the general election, when asked if he and his ex-PKR colleagues were ready for a snap election.

“Still a long way to go before the polls (lambat lagi),” the Gombak MP said.

He had previously said that he and his new coalition partners in Pakatan Nasional were ready to face the polls, which could be held this year or next.

On the PN components’ tussle over seats, Azmin said today the problem could be solved via “negotiations”. He declined to elaborate.

As for the insults that he has been peppered with since his defection from PKR, Azmin said they have no effect on him.

“Label me what you want, I have been labelled all sorts of things. There is no effect. What is important is that our conscience is clear… It is up to them what they want to label,” he added.

The former economic affairs minister in the Pakatan Harapan administration said he made the decision to join the government headed by Muhyiddin Yassin to help the people and the economy.

Azmin said that like him, the prime minister was imperturbable.

“Don’t panic. Keep calm. Insya-Allah, we will be victorious.” – July 10, 2020.

  • Traitor who betrayed his voters. Left his supporters in vain and despair. Greedy and selfish leader of the century. Going lengthy family overseas holidays. Owing Travel agency hundreds of thousand. Who can afford this with just MB salaries? Think wisely and realistically, voters. Who has dated power and money but ye remain humble and concern about poor. Only one person I observe after decades, Anwar Ibrahim. I m not his fan or supporter, merely telling upthe truth. The hypocrite, greedy and selfish BN or PN cronies don't like him bcos he is too clean to bribe and too hard to crush. The majority of Malaysians need him but many are bought up by shortvteem money and interests and forego the long term personal growth and national advancement. Poor Malaysians, wake up before it's too late.
