COMMENT | Selangor Menteri Besar Azmin Ali risks being sidelined if he continues to play the devil’s advocate in Pakatan Harapan.

Yesterday, when PAS ulama treasurer Khairuddin Aman Razali said that PAS from the outset are not interested in any form of political cooperation with Pakatan Harapan, it was a slap on Azmin’s face.

Beggar boy

In short, Azmin has been the one begging for the cooperation from the Islamist party. He had kept the few PAS state excos in his state administration, despite PAS dropping out of the then Pakatan Rakyat.

A source close to Azmin said that because of his ego, Azmin may risk being sidelined not only by his own party but also by his colleagues in Harapan....
