Primary Industries Deputy Minister Shamsul Iskandar Md Akin has clarified his reasons for appointing Haziq Abdullah Abdul Aziz as his senior private secretary.
This followed claims that the PKR lawmaker had an ulterior motive for doing so.
Dismissing the claims, Shamsul said he was just as shocked as others when Haziq accused PKR deputy president Azmin Ali of being the person in the leaked video clips depicting both of them engaged in sexual acts.
“I urge all quarters who make the baseless and wild allegations that I had a certain agenda to appoint Haziq to stop doing so.
“I wish to stress that I reject gutter politics which seek to tarnish the reputation of any leader or individual,” he added in a statement this afternoon.
Last week, Shamsul announced that Haziq has been suspended from his post and slapped with a show-cause letter.
