Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad slammed Santubong PKR Youth chief Haziq Abdullah Abdul Aziz for claiming to be one of the men shown in the sex videos implicating Economic Affairs Minister Mohamed Azmin Ali.
"It is deliberate. If it was not, why would he confess? Normally, someone in that position would be ashamed. This guy is not shy," he said.
"'I am the one. I am the one who did it with the minister' he says. What does that tell you?
"I don't know who is behind it, but these kinds of methods should not exist in Malaysia."
Earlier today, Azmin denounced the video clips allegedly depicting him and another man engaging in sexual relations, which were systematically distributed to reporters and PKR members.
The minister characterised the campaign as a "nefarious plot" to destroy his political career.
