Police to quiz Azmin and aide over sex video scandal
The police will question Mohamed Azmin Ali and his political secretary Hilman Idham over the sex video scandal implicating the economic affairs minister.
Inspector-General of Police Abdul Hamid Bador was cited by Astro Awani as saying that Azmin would be called in, although no dates were given.
Azmin had earlier told reporters in Ampang that police had not contacted him yet.
“No (the police have not called me).
“[…] Let them (the police) do their job and do not intervene,” he said, adding that he was ready to assist the investigations.
Hilman, meanwhile, told Malaysiakini that he would be giving his statement next Monday.
“I will give my statement at the Sepang district police headquarters this Monday (June 17) at 10am.
“This is in connection with the police report I lodged in response to Haziq Abdullah Abdul Aziz’s fake report,” he told Malaysiakini when contacted today.
Hilman previously lodged a police report, stating that Haziq’s allegations were libellous and slanderous.
Several videos of two men engaging in sexual activities have been circulated over the past few days.
Haziq, who is the Santubong PKR Youth chief, confessed to being one of the men in the video and claimed that his partner was Azmin.
He has since lodged a police report claiming his confession was true and that Hilman, on Azmin’s orders, had previously told him to deny being in the sex videos.
The minister has denied involvement and characterised the scandal as a plot to destroy his political career.
Yesterday, police questioned Primary Industries Deputy Minister Shamsul Iskandar Mohd Akin for five hours over the scandal.
Haziq had served as Shamsul’s private secretary before the sex videos broke.
He has since been suspended from his job and slapped with a show-cause letter by Shamsul. – mkini
