Azmin squashes speculations over absence at PKR retreat

SHAH ALAM: PKR deputy president Datuk Seri Azmin Ali squashed speculations over reasons for his absence at PKR’s three day retreat that was held in Port Dickson from Friday over a period of three days.

“I was away overseas for an official visit, I just came back this afternoon,” said Azmin who is also Economic Affairs Minister.

He however opted not stay mum when pressed further on the exact location.

“Overseas,” Azmin replied.

Earlier in his uplanned speech, he delivered a coded speech in which he said that loyalty has its limits.

“We cannot give blind loyalty. We must be loyal to the cause of a struggle.”

“I had no intention to speak tonight, but when I saw the extraordinary turnout, which never happened in the mentri besar’s residence, regardless of whether it’s the current mentri besar or the previous one, where there was such a big turnout. This is the first time I’m seeing thousands.

“So tonight, I stand in front of my brethren and Malaysians. I vow, I promise. Whatever attacks are thrown at me, I will still rise to bring new politics to this nation.

“Let me face this alone, let me face the person or people whom I have known before, but our loyalty has its limits.

“I am loyal to the truth and justice, and I will always fight for justice and the truth. Not for my family, but I want Malaysians, the Muslims and the Malays to get the justice they deserve,” Azmin said to a packed hall.

He also delivered a sharp speech that was directed to the mastermind behind the gay sex video that implicated him for the past month or so.

Come on! I don’t have to be silent, because we don’t need someone like this to lead us,” Azmin said to cheers, stopping short of naming anyone.

“We can plan to topple someone. We can embarrass someone. We can insult someone. Remember, to those who are involved, you can plan, you have hundreds of thousands of ringgit, you have tycoons, but Allah’s plan supersedes that of a human who tries to topple,” he added.
