After a long period of silence since details of his unpaid travel bills led to the filing of a writ against him, PKR personality Azmin now apparently claims that the suit is a “political action” aimed at discrediting him. The public will see the truth of the matter when the case comes to trial.

Will Azmin testify on oath that he never incurred the charges for which he is being sued? Or just claim that this is an attempt to discredit him. If the latter why wait so long to rebut the claim? Feeling politically stronger? Relying on assurances that may not be worth the breath used to utter them that the future is golden?

Or just an extraordinary belief that he is the only person suited to head the government of Malaysia? In that case perhaps better to have awaited the outcome of certain criminal enquiries that are ongoing.
