Azmin to Selangor PAN deputy chief: Are you being a beggar?

KUALA LUMPUR: Cracks within opposition pact Pakatan Harapan in Selangor continued to widen today when embattled Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Azmin Ali returned the salvo launched Selangor Parti Amanah Negara (PAN) deputy chief Saari Sungib.

Azmin in his tweet asked Saari whether he was “begging” for an exco post following the latter’s recent statement that the PKR deputy president was employing “palace politics” to keep Pas in the state administration.

“@SaariSungib nak jadi pengemis untuk jawatan EXCO ke ? (Do you want to be a beggar for an exco position?)” said Azmin.

DAP Segambut member of parliament Lim Lip Eng joined the fray and called for truce. “OMG! Cease fire please. @AzminAli @SaariSungib,” said Lim.

Azmin had long been accused of favouring Pas over its splinter PAN despite the setting up of the new opposition pact.

PKR and Pas has since formed a side pact to maintain Selangor’s political stability.

His decision to keep Pas members as state excos last year was further challenged, when PAN began pushing for the Islamic party to be removed from the administration’s roster. -nst
