Selangor Menteri Besar Azmin Ali has changed all his social media profile photos, to one of him wearing a 'lebai' or skullcap.

The subtle move came amid increasing attacks from PAS over a jibe he made.

On Tuesday, Azmin made a jibe about a 'tok lebai' wanting to take over Selangor despite losing in his own backyard.

This is believed to be a reference to PAS Youth chief Nik Abduh Nik Aziz, who lost badly in the party election for the Pengkalan Chepa division, bagging only 37 votes against his opponent's 207 votes.

Ada tok lebai nak tawan Selangor. Kawasan sendiri pun kalah tersungkur.
