KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad on Tuesday dismissed suggestions that he was defending Economic Affairs Minister Azmin Ali over aSpeaking to reporters after launching a national financial literary strategy, Dr Mahathir stated that he did not want to get caught up in what he described as"dirty" politics.“I’m not defending him . I’m just saying that dirty kinds of politics like that will not trap me into being part of it,” he stated.
“Obviously, somebody is trying to make use of me to achieve their purpose. This is not a usual video that you see before; this is purposely created in order to achieve certain nasty objectives to prevent somebody from making progress in politics.”AdvertisementAsked whether the masterminds behind the circulation of the video should be brought to court, Dr Mahathir said they should be punished.
“If we can find and identify who actually produced this particular video and showed them on the Net, I think they should be punished. This is not the kind of politics we want.” Mr Azmin has been under pressure after a sex video purportedly showing him in bed with another man was circulated last month.
