Azmin relegates claim he's got RM300mil to the 'gutter'

Economic Affairs Minister Mohamed Azmin Ali (above) has brushed off the allegation that he has over RM300 million stashed overseas. 

Speaking to the press at an open house event today, the former Selangor menteri besar described the accusation as gutter politics.

He added that he posses that much money, he would no longer need to be a politician.

"I don't entertain gutter politics.

"If I were to have over RM300 million, I would no longer be Keadilan (PKR), right ?" he said.

Ever since they took over Selangor in 2009, he said, Pakatan Harapan and the now-defunct Pakatan Rakyat had made it a practice to declare their assets. 

He was referring to the accusation leveled by blogger Toyol of Selangor, who claimed to have worked for Azmin before.

He had claimed in a blog posting on June 18 that Azmin and the latter's wife Shamsidar Taharin have multiple bank accounts overseas.
