Netizens link Azmin’s cryptic tweet to Dr Mahathir
KUALA LUMPUR: PKR deputy president Datuk Seri Azmin Ali yesterday posted a tweet that many are speculating is in response to recent events surrounding Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.
The tweet said: “Sandiwara kelas pertama (a first-class theatrical act). Kah kah kah.”
His cryptic message drew comments from Netizens who were supportive of the Selangor menteri besar, as well those critical of him over the statement.
Many linked the tweet to Dr Mahathir’s nomination as Pakatan Harapan’s prime ministerial candidate and his failed attempt to visit PKR de facto leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim at the Cheras Rehabilitation Hospital.
On Wednesday, PKR vice-president Nurul Izzah Anwar, who accompanied Dr Mahathir to the hospital, said she knew he would not be allowed to visit her father.
“We knew that Tun Dr Mahathir may not be allowed to visit him, but after a discussion with Tun, we tried to work it out.”
In reply to Azmin’s tweet, Twitter user Abam ZAPA labelled Pakatan Harapan supporters “stupid” over their approval of Dr Mahathir.
“Madey (Dr Mahathir) was the one who jailed Anwar, and in the end, he (Dr Mahathir) is the one who wants to break the prison walls. Pakatan supporters are being fooled until kingdom come.”
Twitter user Malaysia 2.0 said Azmin was aware of Dr Mahathir ’s alleged political game and ploy.
“Azmin is the only one who is aware that Madey (Dr Mahathir) will use his (political) power for family and self-serving interests. Long live Azmin.”
But, some were sceptical about Azmin’s loyalty to Anwar and accused the former of conspiring to keep his boss behind bars.
“You are the one who played out DSAI (Anwar) to remain in jail, in order for you to remain powerful in politics and PKR,” wrote user Mugabe Robert.
