The sex video scandal dogging PKR deputy president Mohamed Azmin Ali will be discussed again at the party's weekly political bureau meeting this evening, according to secretary-general Saifuddin Nasution Ismail.
Saifuddin noted that potential action against Santubong PKR Youth chief Haziq Abdullah Abdul Aziz will be on the table.
When asked whether action against Azmin will also be brought up, he said that he has no control over what the political bureau will discuss.
"As the secretary-general, I have no control what the political bureau members are going to discuss," he told a press conference in Putrajaya today.
Azmin did not attend the political bureau meeting last Wednesday when the sex video scandal was first discussed.
That meeting took place just a day after Haziq confessed to being one of the two individuals shown in the clips, and named Azmin as the other.
The deputy president has denied the allegation, and said the inside job is part of a campaign to destroy his political career.
Saifuddin today also brushed off the accusation that PKR failed to show leadership in its handling of the scandal.
"Is there any action has been taken by the PKR leadership? Yes, we issued a statement that we leave it to the police to investigate," he said, adding that the party can only act after the police probe is complete.
"We can't hurl more slander (at Azmin) when the police are still investigating the case," he said.
Saifuddin also pointed out that PKR does not possess the expertise of the police and the Communications and Multimedia Commission to conduct an internal probe. - Mkini
