Ummi Hafilda attacks PKR’s ‘Three As’

KUALA LUMPUR- Ummi Hafilda Ali has threatened to continue attacking the “Three As” in PKR – Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, her brother Azmin Ali and Datin Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail — if they continue to be unrepentant.

She said she had yet to unveil a “secret” that would expose more wrongdoings allegedly involving the PKR leaders.

“Such evidence will be saved for the coming general election. As long as the three A’s continue to be a threat to the nation and race, my allies and I will go all out to attack them,” the 44-year-old businesswoman told reporters at a restaurant here yesterday.

However, she said that if Anwar, who is Opposition Leader, admitted to his “sins”, he would be forgiven and she would put a stop to her campaign against him.

Holding back tears, Ummi Hafilda, who was a main witness in Anwar’s first sodomy trial in 1998, also urged Azmin to repent and reunite with the family.

“Even though I am angry, deep down in my heart I know that Azmin is still my brother. If he repents, I will not expose his wrongdoings to the world. But if he continues to push me, I will be left with no choice,” said Ummi Hafilda of Azmin who is PKR deputy president.

She also alleged that Anwar had promised Azmin he would be made Finance Minister, Prime Minister and Home Minister if they took over the Government.

Previously, Ummi Hafilda had claimed that Anwar abused his power as deputy prime minister in 1997 by ordering her arrest.

Anwar was sacked as deputy prime minister in 1998 and later convicted of sodomy and corruption charges. He spent six years behind bars before being released in 2004.

Azmin, when contacted, said PKR would only discuss real issues for the good of the country and economy rather than entertaining dirty politics.

“We are more concerned about issues like the high cost of living and how to end poverty and corruption. Anyone who wants to criticise us can continue to do so but we are committed to helping the rakyat,” he said.
