The sex video scandal involving Azmin stands out as the biggest challenge facing the ruling Pakatan Harapan coalition because it took office last 12 months, senior MP Lim Kit Siang said.

“For 4 days now, the country has been hounded, harassed and persecuted by Haziq’s sex video featuring the minister, which shows his power in destroying the Pakatan Harapan coalition and derailing PH’s ‘New Malaysia’ agenda,” Lim said.

“There is no doubt that Haziq’s sex video is the biggest challenge to Pakatan Harapan since the 14th general election last May and PH leaders must unite to move forward and not be derailed from the New Malaysia agenda.”
