KULIM: Perikatan Nasional (PN) candidate for the Padang Serai parliamentary seat Azman Nasrudin said he has given his statement to the police over his remarks claiming that the recently formed government was a “kerajaan zina” (“a government of adultery”).

Azman said he had his statement recorded at the Kulim Hi-Tech police station here at midnight.

“I admit that I was a bit harsh that night. But I was referring to Umno violating its own resolution, which has led to disappointment among the party’s grassroots.

“This is about principles, the issue of mixed or unity government is another story. PN also accepts the decision of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong,” he said when met during an election campaign in Kampung Nesa here today.

Last Sunday, Azman was reported to have issued a statement saying that there was a clear sign of rejection of Pakatan Harapan and Barisan Nasional following the formation of a unity government, which he described as a “kerajaan zina”. - FMT
