PKR deputy president Azmin Ali has launched a thinly veiled attack against president Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail for failing to consult Selangor party leaders over who should be the mentri besar.

The Selangor PKR chief had fired the first salvo a day earlier by saying that the next mentri besar should not be a “lame duck” who allowed himself to be led by others.

The reference was seen as a dig at Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim.

Anwar’s and family’s security upped after bodyguard ‘attacked’

Security measures for Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and his family are being beefed-up, following “a botched attack” involving Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail last night.

“There will be more security measures for the family. We have to be more careful now,” PKR vice president Chua Tian Chang told The Malaysian Insider.

According to his fellow vice president, Nurul Izzah Anwar, bodyguard Fayyadh Afiq Albakqry was escorting PKR president Dr Wan Azizah (picture) through a crowd of supporters at a ceramah near her hometown in Penang at about 10pm when the alleged attack happened.

“He’s now hospitalised in Seberang Jaya hospital. He was attacked with a syringe as he was shielding Dr Wan on her way up to the podium to speak.

“He later passed out in the car in the presence of Dr Wan, my sister Ilham and her husband,” Nurul Izzah, who is Anwar and Dr Wan Azizah’s daughter told The Malaysian Insider in a text message.

Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail said today that she and family members are convinced after watching a two-minute clip of a sex video that the man in the recording is not her husband Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

A portion of the video purportedly showing Anwar having sex was uploaded on YouTube on Sunday.

Wan Azizah said today the clip was clear evidence that Anwar was innocent as the man featured did not resemble her husband.

“It is clear that the body and physique of the actor is different than the body and physique of Anwar,” she told reporters at her residence while surrounded by her family members.

“When he was in jail, what else could he do but exercise,” she said, referring to Anwar’s previous statement that “the stomach of the man was much bigger than” his.
