Azmin bumps into Hishammudd­in in Morocco

-

SEMENYIH: PKR deputy president Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali said he just happened to bump into Sembrong MP Datuk Seri Hishammudd­in Tun Hussein when both of them were on holiday with their families in Morocco recently.

He said there was no secret political discussion then and asked the general public to have open mind in this regard.

“I wasn't on vacation with Hishammudd­in, we just ran into him and his family in Morocco. In fact I bumped into many Malaysians there, and there is no issue,” said Mohamed Azmin, who is also Economic Affairs Minister, after handing over keys to the occupants of a new apartment here yesterday.

He pointed out that his relationsh­ip with the former Umno vice-president began decades ago.

“Even when I was in the opposition, I attended the wedding of Hishammudd­in's child,” said Mohamed Azmin when responding to a question about a photograph showing both of them with their families on holiday in Morocco.

The photograph has left tongues wagging on social media, especially speculatio­n about political cooperatio­n between Mohamed Azmin and Hishammudd­in.

“We need to be more civilised, don't assume when they (leaders from opposing political parties) meet, there would be political discussion. For the sake of our country we need to have good relationsh­ip with everyone,” said Mohamed Azmin. – Bernama
