Azmin's political secretary admits to meeting Haziq before 'confession'

2019-06-13 5

Hilman Idham, political secretary to Economic Affairs Minister Azmin Ali, has admitted to meeting Haziq Abdullah Abdul Aziz prior to the latter's sordid confession about being taped having sex with a man whom he claimed was Azmin.

"It's true," Hilman told reporters in Putrajaya when asked about Haziq's claim that they (he and Haziq) met at a restaurant in the Marriot Putrajaya prior to the confession video being released yesterday.

However, Hilman declined to comment when asked to verify Haziq's claim that he (Hilman) had asked him (Haziq) to deny that it was Azmin in the video.

Haziq made the claims in a Facebook posting almost an hour prior to Azmin's aide speaking to the press today.
