The PKR leader has accused the Umno-controlled media of using the same sexual misconduct tactic used to smear Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim. 

(Free Malaysia Today) - PKR deputy president Mohd Azmin Ali has denied the allegation that he was involved in a sex scandal as accused by several pro-Umno blogs.

“I deny the allegations. The Umno-controlled media is using the same method employed to smear Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim against me,” he said in a blog posting.

Today, the Umno-owned Utusan Malaysia published several pictures showing a man resembling Azmin engaged in an illicit sexual act with an unknown woman.

The pictures, taken from websites www.papagomo.com and www.amwaraidc.com, showed the man cuddling the woman on a sofa and in the toilet.

Azmin said this was not the first time that several quarters had made baseless accusations against him and added that even his wife was not spared.

“Recently, Umno supporters accused me of insulting the royalty and I was also accused of inciting the crowd during the Bersih 3.0 to riot.

“But when all that failed, they started accusing me of being involved in a sex scandal in an attempt to tarnish my image before the general election,” added the Gombak MP.

The PKR leader urged Umno to stop the baseless accusations against him, saying it could destroy the community and the country.

“And I will continue to carry the spirit of reforms under the PKR and the Pakatan Rakyat banners to bring about a change in Malaysia,” he said.

Last year, “Datuk Trio” showed a video to several journalists, which allegedly showed Anwar engaging in illicit sex with a Chinese prostitute in an unknown hotel.

Anwar had since denied the allegation that the man in the video was him.
